More Details

Description

Royal Wedding:
Brother and Sister dance team Tom Bowen (Fred Astaire) and Ellen Bowen (Jane Powell) are invited to perform in England during the time of Queen Elisabeth II's marriage. While in London, each finds true love. Tom falls head over heels for a Chorus dancer and Ellen with an English Lord.

Made in 1951, 'Royal Wedding' showcases the incredible talents of both Astaire and Powell and includes Astaire's unforgettable 'Ceiling' and 'Coat Rack' numbers, dance sequences which are considered some of the most memorable in film history.

Second Chorus:
Friendly rivals Danny (Fred Astaire) and Hank (Burgess Meredith) are both trumpet players in a college band who vie for the affections of the band's new manager Ellen (Paulette Goddard). So begins the ongoing wooing and courtship of Ellen, while trying to out-do one another in their pursuit.

Can she resist being swept off her feet by the elegant Astaire? A fine musical that features the Oscar nominated song 'Love of my Love'.
