Tom and Ellen Bowen are a brother and sister dance act whose show closes in New York. Their agent books them in London for the same period as the Royal Wedding. They travel by ship where Ellen meets and becomes involved with Lord John Brindale. This causes her to miss a rehearsal. Tom (Astaire) uses the time to dance with a hat rack and gym equipment. Later Tom and Ellen attempt a graceful dance number as the ship rolls. Upon arrival Tom holds auditions and meets Anne. There is much indecision by the siblings about their romantic partners even though they are in-the-clouds. Tom dances on the walls and ceiling of his hotel room. All ends well in this light musical. By the way, there is a vaudeville-style dance number in their show that features slapstick. It's a hoot.
Leave your thoughts about Royal Wedding.
| Common Sense MediaScott G. MignolaFamily entertainment doesn't get any livelier. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThis is an engaging concoction of songs and dances in a standard musical framework, brightly dressed in color to show off its physical attributes. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThough famous for the number where Astaire dances on the ceiling, this is lower grade material. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewA pleasant enough score by Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner, helped out by Donen's stylish direction. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe plot of this Stanley Donen musical is slender, but it doesn't matter as it features some of Astaire's best dancing, including a number in which he dances on the walls and ceiling. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThis is the one in which Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling, an impeccably executed bit of movie magic and a sublime expression of Donen's love for the medium. |
| Film ThreatPhil HallEmbarrassing nonsense that is barely saved by three classic musical numbers. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyAlmost wall-to-wall dancing, with a vengeance. |
| The Retro SetNathanael Hood...for just a moment in Stanley Donen's Royal Wedding we believe that love can make us weightless. |
| User ReviewRob OThis movie has a scene of dancing up the wall and across the ceiling. Lionel Richie copied this in his music video dancing on the ceiling. Fun film. |
