Royal Wedding
Royal
Wedding is a 1951 MGM musical comedy film starring Fred Astaire and Jane
Powell, with music by Burton Lane and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner. The film was
directed by Stanley Donen.
The
story is set in London in 1947 at the time of the wedding of Princess Elizabeth
and Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh. Astaire and Powell are siblings in a
song and dance duo, echoing the real-life theatrical relationship of Fred and
Adele Astaire.
Judy
Garland was originally cast as Ellen, however
she only rehearsed half-days, and called in sick as
principal photography was to begin. That prompted MGM to cancel her contract
with the studio, one that had lasted 14 years.
