Royal Wedding (1951) Director: Stanley Donen Writers: Alan Jay Lerner(story) Stars: Fred Astaire, Jane Powell, Peter Lawford Genre: Comedy, Musical, Romance Country: USA Language: English Also Known As: Wedding Bells Release Date: 8 March 1951 (USA) Duration: 92 min Filming Location: London, England, UK Storyline: Tom and Ellen Bowen are a brother and sister dance act whose show closes in New York. Their agent books them in London for the same period as the Royal Wedding. They travel by ship where Ellen meets and becomes involved with Lord John Brindale. This causes her to miss a rehearsal. Tom (Astaire) uses the time to dance with a hat rack and gym equipment. Later Tom and Ellen attempt a graceful dance number as the ship rolls. Upon arrival Tom holds auditions and meets Anne. There is much indecision by the siblings about their romantic partners even though they are in-the-clouds. Tom dances on the walls and ceiling of his hotel room. All ends well in this light musical. By the way, there is a vaudeville-style dance number in their show that features slapstick. It's a hoot. Reviews: "Royal Wedding is a wonderful, warm, funny and entertaining musical with Fred Astaire and Jane Powell playing the leads as a brother-sister theater act. The film received one Oscar nomination and was one of the top box office hits of 1951. And, for good reason. Astaire does some dazzling dancing with two solo performances that show his great footwork talent. One is a masterful studio gimmick in which his Tom Bowen is seen dancing on the ceiling and the walls. The other is when sis, Ellen Bowen (Powell) fails to show up for rehearsal while they're crossing the ocean from New York to England. He maneuvers a coat and hat stand around the dance floor as a partner. It's a delight to watch such masterful and graceful talent perform. Jane Powell, as Ellen Bowen, is the perfect match for Astaire as a sister. Her perky, pleasant, humorous and very talented presence lights up this film. I thought it was very funny as Ellen and Tom prepared to sail to England and then board the ship with various suitors of Ellen's showing up and winding up in fisticuffs. But, she will soon narrow her field of romance to one person - Lord John Brindale. Peter Lawford plays the Englishman of noble birth who himself had strung along a number of admirers - in his case, girlfriends. The setting of all this, with the Bowens getting a booking in England, takes place in 1947 just before the Nov. 20th royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth (soon to become Queen Elizabeth) and Prince Philip Mountbatten. And, of course it's not hard to figure out how this film with end after Tom meets an English gal his own age and is hooked by Anne Ashmond. Sarah Churchill plays that role and another supporting character - her father, James (played by Albert Sharpe) adds some good comedy to the film. Although there are no memorable songs in this film (a couple were short time hits), the eight music and dance numbers are very good."-Written by SimonJack "It's hard to pick one of Fred Astaire's movies as a favorite or as his best! But of course Royal Wedding has to hit the top of the classics simply for the famous "dance on the ceiling". Jane Powell plays his sister and does a very nice job, considering she and Fred never practiced any dance routines together before shooting the film! A must-see for Astaire fans, and if you're not a fan, watch this film and you will be!"-Written by k_jasmine_99 Also Known As (AKA): (original title) Royal Wedding Argentina Boda real Austria Königliche Hochzeit France Mariage royal Germany Königliche Hochzeit Greece (transliterated title) Vasilikoi gamoi Greece Βασιλικοί Γάμοι Hungary Királyi esküvő Italy Sua altezza si sposa Japan (Japanese title) 恋愛準決勝戦 Poland Królewskie wesele Portugal Casamento Real Romania Nunta regala Spain Bodas reales Sweden Kungligt bröllop Turkey (Turkish title) Zaferden Zafere UK Wedding Bells ···················································································· ✘ Website: https://www.artflix.info/ FOLLOW US! ✘ Twitter - https://twitter.com/Artflixtv SUPPORT US! ✘ Membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNcUc5v0Kt5afE_jcbbZUBQ/join MORE MOVIES! ► Film Noir: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8zZFQfLjXuXBFcLF_oP35pQX098fUhQ1 ► Classic Movies: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8zZFQfLjXuUU37GjccbV249yYIHDYrjS ► All Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNcUc5v0Kt5afE_jcbbZUBQ/playlists ···················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
