Easter Parade (1948)
Original US poster
Unframed: 81 x 41 in. (206 x 104 cm)

Linen backed

This poster was printed in two sheets and designed to be pasted onto billboards. Far fewer of this size poster were printed, and only unused examples survived.

This American musical stars Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford and Ann Miller. Songs for the film were written by Irving Berlin, and include classics such as 'Easter Parade', 'Steppin' Out with My Baby' and 'We're a Couple of Swells'. Gene Kelly was originally meant to play opposite Judy Garland, but having broken his ankle, the part was then offered to Fred Astaire who came out of retirement to take on this role.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, very minor restoration to folds.

Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen
