Dove Review

Fred Astaire was one of great dancers of his time. This movie from 1951 also stars Jane Powell and Peter Lawford. It is a classic musical with fantastic dance steps, songs and a story of romance and relationships.

As the brother-and-sister dance team travel to England in time for the Royal Wedding, they are booked to do a show there, and they dance and sing their way into the hearts of the viewer. Along the way, they each find romance in merry old England, and as they watch the Royal Wedding parade, they both make a decision that will change their lives.

With Fred Astaire’s wonderful dance routine on the wall and ceiling and Jane’s beautiful voice singing those charming love songs, “Royal Wedding” is a movie that will captivate audiences for ages to come. It is truly entertaining for anyone who loves old musicals. We award this film the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
