Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe "You're All the World to Me" dance was accomplished by putting a whole room, with attached camera and harnessed cameraman, inside a 20-foot-diameter rotating "squirrel cage."
- GoofsOn the day of the wedding, many of the British flags in the streets are hung upside down. The wider diagonal white stripe of the Union Flag should always be uppermost next to the top of the flagpole.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are displayed on engraved invitation pages.

Featured review
After their act is broken up in New York, a brother/sister tap dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) travel to England and immediately fall in love with new acquaintances. Powell goes after royalty in the form of Peter Lawford and Astaire sets his eyes on Sarah Churchill. Which will win out in the end, their old dance routine or their new romantic interests? Pure Hollywood fluff here, but enjoyable for the time period nonetheless. One of the more under-rated musicals of the early-1950s. Astaire, getting up in years here, still shows amazing athleticism through the dance sequences. Not a bad time passer. 4 stars out of 5.
