Day 15
Classic Kids: or films your kids have to see by 13 or else!
Easter Parade
Joelle (jo jo) picked out this film and I say perfect
timing! So much to enjoy about
this funny, little musical, with all of the Irving Berlin songs, and the cast
of Garland, Astaire and Ann Miller.
The Technicolor aspects are brilliant, the yellow and the reds, wow!
The link to Ann's amazing tap dancing on "Shaking the blues away" is below. Little trivia, she did this dance with a lower back brace on, because of an injury, amazing.

Questions: What
are the goals of the main characters?
How do their goals clash?
How is the Dance circuit explored in this film? How did the MGM back lot create a New
York City of 1912? What do you
notice about dress, hair, and automobiles?
