Guten Morgen und Frohe 🥚stern Ihr Lieben 🐣

Zum 24.12. gibt es haufenweise Filme zum Fest, doch was ist mit dem #Osterfilm ?
Karfreitag, da schauen ich und sehr viele „Das Leben des Brian“
Fürs #Osterfest hab ich allerdings nur zwei Filme im Regal:

• Es ist doch der Osterbeagle (1974)
It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown

• Osterspaziergang (1948)
mit Judy Garland und Fred Astaire

Was sind denn Eure Osterfilme? 🐇

"Cheek to Cheek" is a song written by #IrvingBerlin in 1934–35, specifically for #FredAstaire, the star of his new musical, #TopHat, co-starring #GingerRogers. In the movie, Astaire sings the song to Rogers as they dance. The song was nominated for the Best Song #Oscar for 1936, which it lost to "#LullabyOfBroadway". The song spent five weeks at #1 on #YourHitParade and was named the #1 song of 1935.
