directed by Charles Walters
featuring Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford, Ann Miller, Jules Munshin

Fred Astaire had announced his retirement before the cameras began to roll on Easter Parade, but he decided to accept the film's leading role when its original star Gene Kelly became incapacitated. The thinnish plot, which finds Astaire trying to turn chorus girl Judy Garland into a star in order to show up his former partner Ann Miller, is hardly ...

Billy Rose's Jumbo (1962) more movies like this

directed by Charles Walters
featuring Doris Day, Stephen Boyd, Jimmy Durante, Martha Raye, Dean Jagger

Inasmuch as the spectacular Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart Broadway musical Jumbo was written in 1935, this 1962 film version can't help but seem a little quaint. Still, the film features the original production's star Jimmy Durante, energetically recreating his stage role as circus owner Pop Wonder; it is Durante's bravura performance that saves ...

directed by Charles Walters, George Sidney, Lemuel Ayers, Norman Taurog, Robert Lewis, Roy Del Ruth, Vincente Minnelli
featuring Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball, Fanny Brice, Lucille Bremer, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly

The presence of William Powell as legendary showman Flo Ziegfeld at the beginning of Ziegfeld Follies might lead an impressionable viewer from thinking that this 1946 film is a Technicolor sequel to the 1936 Oscar-winning The Great Ziegfeld. Not so: this is more in the line of an all-star revue, much like such early talkies as Hollywood Revue of ...

The Barkleys of Broadway became Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers' "reunion" picture purely by accident.

Good News (1947) more movies like this

directed by Charles Walters
featuring June Allyson, Morris Ankrum, Tom Dugan, Connie Gilchrist, Jane Green

This second film version of the DeSylva/Brown/Henderson Broadway musical Good News may not be the best of the Arthur Freed-produced MGM musicals, but it's certainly one of the peppiest. The film is set at Tait college during the Roaring 20s. The wisp of a plot involves Tait football-star Peter Lawford, who will be ineligible to play in the Big ...

Easy to Love (1953) more movies like this

directed by Charles Walters
featuring Esther Williams, Van Johnson, Tony Martin, John Bromfield, Edna Skinner

The Cole Porter title tune is but one of the musical highlights in the (literally) splashy Esther Williams musical Easy to Love. Reshuffling plot devices utilized in previous Williams vehicles, the film casts Williams as Julie Hallerton, the star of Ray Lloyd's (Van Johnson) aquacade. She loves Lloyd, but he hardly knows she exists. Only when she ...

A lesser Fred Astaire effort, Belle of New York is set during the turn of the century. Astaire plays a footloose and fancy-free playboy who falls in love with Salvation Army lass Vera-Ellen.
