Additional InformationDancing and romance collide in ROYAL WEDDING as a brother-sister dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) open their musical show in London shortly before the English royal wedding and find love of their own. Showcasing some of Astaire's most memorable dance scenes in film history--Astaire's hat-rack partner and his dancing on the ceiling (impressive even to those jaded by special effects)--this tale of finding true love when it's least expected, and least wanted, has delighted audiences since the movie's release in 1951.<BR>Flirty Ellen and dance-focused Tom have escaped the clutches of many marriage-minded partners, keeping their joint entertainment careers their first priority. When they leave New York to sail for London to open a new musical show, Ellen leaves behind many besotted men but no regrets. But when a ladies' man (and lord) falls hard for Ellen, and a British girl in the dance chorus needs Tom's help to locate her fiance, both brother and sister realize that this time love must come first.
This film has its faults. Such as Fred’s love interest being Winston Churchills daughter (not a looker or great dancer). But it has some of the most original dance scenes ever - such as the dance up the walls and across the ceiling! I bought this film years ago and threw it away because all the colours were so saturated and the contrast also was so extreme it even had ghost shadows of the characters. This copy is better but also not there. If anyone know of a good print of this film please broadcast it so we can all buy a copy.
