. A brother and sister, famous for their onstage dancing and productions, travel to England to perform. Arriving in England during the week of the royal wedding, romance is in the air. While on foreign shores, they each fall in love. As they balance their careers and new romances, they must decide whether to settle down and break up their act or continue with show business. and leave their lovers behind. The sets in this movie were beautiful, as were the costumes. There was a lot of color in the film, particularly the color yellow. The dancing was fantastic, especially in regards to Fred Astaire. It was interesting that the main characters were siblings, as typically the two main characters are love interests. I enjoyed this movie for many reasons. I loved the sets, particularly in the "I Left My Hat in Haiti" dance number (included below). I think that was my favorite scene in the movie. I also loved when Fred Astaire was dancing on the walls and the ceiling of the hotel room. The costumes were also very pretty, especially the dresses that the actresses wore. The story was interesting, and I wasn't bored at any point during the film. I thought that the movie as a whole was creative and I would recommend to anyone looking for a good 1950's musical to watch. In terms of my favorite musicals, I'd say this one ranks fairly high on my list.

AuthorHello fellow film lovers! Just a little bit about me: I love movies from the Old Hollywood era, especially musicals. In general, my movie taste is a bit all over the place. I don't really stick to one genre, as I just watch whatever looks interesting! I look forward to broadening my horizons in terms of film and reviewing them to the best of my ability in an honest way. Reading another passion of mine, and I'm frequently told I have an old soul, so expect to see a lot of older films being reviewed. I hope you can find what you need here! Archives
