I was recently sent Project Gay's excellent review of Easter Parade. It combines witty commentary with historical insight and clever analysis.

For example:

Someday, we're going to write a treatise on the crazy hats women wear in musicals. We propose that because there was so much sexual repression in these films, the outrageous hats are supposed to represent vaginas on top of their heads. It's why so many of the men had walking sticks too.

Think about it.

Judging by the things Fred did to his walking stick in this movie and in Blue Skies, he had a penchant for self-abuse.

Ah, look how he lovingly caresses his stick.
