Royal Wedding (1951) Official
My Review of ‘Royal Wedding’ (1951) | by Debbi Mack | Movie Lover’s Club | Medium
The story follows Tom and Ellen Bowen (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell), a successful American brother-and-sister dance act that travels to London to perform during the celebrations for the 1947 wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten.
: Once in London, the siblings' career focus is challenged by new love interests—Ellen falls for an aristocrat, Lord John Brindale (Peter Lawford), while the bachelor Tom is smitten with a local dancer, Anne Ashmond (Sarah Churchill). Musical Highlights
: The script is loosely inspired by Fred Astaire’s real-life partnership with his sister, Adele, particularly their success on the London stage.
