Easter Parade

Judy Garland and Fred Astaire sing "Easter Parade" from the 1948 movie Easter Parade. I can understand people wearing their very best clothing for Easter, but making it into a public fashion show seems a bit over the top. That custom peaked in the mid-20th century, and while many people still wear either their newest or best clothing to church on Easter, it's not really a competition for the most part.

You might wonder what the "rotogravure" is. That was a printing technique, and in the song it refers to a magazine section that was printed in color. And about the other question in your head, Judy Garland was 26 when this movie was released; Fred Astaire was 49.
