I just finished watching "Royal Wedding" from 1951 starring Fred Astaire and Jane Powell as a brother and sister dancing team that are going to London to open their new musical show. But while in England they each fall in love. Powell with Rat Pack member Peter Lawford and Fred with Sarah Churchill. Fred Astaire has many great dancing such as where he dances on the ceiling and the wall. The dance number with the coat rack on the boat is also superb. The film was directed by the great musical director Stanly Donen who also directed such classics as "On the Town, Singin' in the Rain, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Pajama Game" and many other classic musicals. I liked the film it was a very good musical.
