Featured review
Tom Bowen (Fred Astaire) and Ellen Bowen (Jane Powell) are singing and dancing siblings whose agent Irving Klinger (Keenan Wynn) sends them to do their musical act in Great Britain.Keenan Wynn plays also Irving's British twin brother Edgar.Ellen falls in love with a man she meets during the ship trip.This man is called Lord John Brindale (Peter Lawford).Tom finds his sweetheart from Britain.That lucky gal is Anne Ashmond (Sarah Churchill) who is dancing at Tom's musical.Royal Wedding from 1951 is a delightful romantic musical comedy.It is great entertainment from the beginning to the end.It has many memorable scenes.The most memorable scene may be the one where Freddy dances on the walls and on the ceiling.I am a big Fred Astaire fan.There isn't a bad musical with Fred Astaire.There isn't a dull moment in Royal Wedding.
