"Easter Parade" (1948)

Fred Astaire. Judy Garland. Love Square. Do the guys get the girls they want and the girls settle? or do the girls get the guys they want and the guys settle? Music to dance numbers was just fine. One disconcerting moment--when the trio of extras are sitting in the back of Judy Garland's first vocal number miming the instrumentals, they were pretty close to doing it well. Why they didn't use REAL musicians instead of choosing to mime it is beyond me. What's more, you saw a regular trombone, but you heard a trombone with a mute in it. It is a bit disconcerting to hear one instrumented sound while watching a mimed different one. One lick in a later number had jazz timpani. The other female lead wore dogs with her dresses; she picked which pet dog to hold depending on the color of her outfit.
