About this movie

On the day before Easter in 1911, Don Hewes is crushed when his dancing partner (and object of affection) Nadine Hale refuses to start a new contract with him. To prove Nadine's not important to him, Don acquires innocent new protegee Hannah Brown, vowing to make her a star in time for next year's Easter parade.

Ratings and reviews

A lovely old movie that I have enjoyed for decades. Great acting, stellar dancing, and beautiful hats make for a sweet rom-com that appeals to all ages.

You might've not heard Judy Garland and dancing in the same sentence, nor Fred Astaire and singing, but the best players from each field come together to put on a completely riveting performance. From the interesting plot to the brief comedic reliefs to the fantastic musical performances, it's definitely in my book as one of the greats of this era's cinematics.

Such a delight to watch (and re-watch) with great songs & dances throughout with an interesting story to match. CAUTION: You will be re-watching certain scenes over and over...
