Movie of the night: Royal Wedding

I finally got around to watching the 1951 version of Royal Wedding starring Fred Astaire.  It's a fun movie about a brother-sister dancing duo who take their act to London in time for the royal wedding of Queen Elizabeth II to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.  What I really enjoyed about the film was the clothes.  Fred Astaire is always inpeccably dressed but Jane Powell looked amazing!  The supporting actress was Sarah Churchill.  Yes!  Winston Churchills daughter.  She was a bit older for the role at age 37 but she could dance wonderfully and Fred Astaire also dances on the ceiling at one point.  The actual Royal Wedding is only in the background but we do get to see plenty of Union Jacks flying everywhere and the Royal carriage carrying the future Queen.  All in all a good film to see after being so excited about Prince Williams wedding.
