Royal Wedding/The Belle of New York (DVD)

ROYAL WEDDING: Dancing and romance collide in ROYAL WEDDING as a brother-sister dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) open their musical show in London shortly before the English royal wedding and find love of their own. Showcasing some of Astaire`s most memorable dance scenes in film history--Astaire`s hat-rack partner and his dancing on the ceiling (impressive even to those jaded by special effects)--this tale of finding true love when it`s least expected, and least wanted, has delighted audiences since the movie`s release in 1951. Flirty Ellen and dance-focused Tom have escaped the clutches of many marriage-minded partners, keeping their joint entertainment careers their first priority. When they leave New York to sail for London to open a new musical show, Ellen leaves behind many besotted men but no regrets. But when a ladies` man (and lord) falls hard for Ellen, and a British girl in the dance chorus needs Tom`s help to locate her fiance, both brother and sister realize that this time love must come first. THE BELLE OF NEW YORK: Turn-of-the-century New York City. Astaire is Charlie Hill, a playboy who falls head-over-heels in love with Angela Bonfils (Vera-Ellen), a mission worker, and attempts to woo her with his charm, dancing ability, and singing voice. Songs include: I Wanna Be a Dancin` Man , Let a Little Love Come In , Baby Doll , Oops , Seeing`s Believing , Naughty but Nice , and Bachelor`s Dinner Song. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
