(Stanley Donen, US 1951, 93 min., 35mm)
End the summer with double the romance as brother-and-sister dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) find love in Great Britain. The duo are excited to put on a show in England around the same time as Princess Elizabeth’s wedding. Each averse to a committed relationship in their own way, Jane falls for a lord she meets on the boat (Peter Lawford), while Fred pursues a dancer in the show who already has her own commitments. Choreography by Nick Castle includes famous sequences of Astaire in a graceful duet with a coatrack and dancing on the ceiling.
