Royal Wedding Page #8

Synopsis: 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.

(Singing) What a lovely day for a

wedding. Happy are we to say.

It's a lovely day

for a wedding.

Lovely in every way.

The Royal Guard is

Scotland Yard.

Big Ben

the time of the day.

What a lovely day for a wedding.

Over again we say.

- It's a lovely, lovely wedding.

- A lovely, lovely wedding.

- Lovely.

- Lovely.

- Lovely.

- Lovely.

Wedding day!

- Hello.

- Good morning old chappie.

- Hello Edgar.

- Good morning.

I've come to take you

to the wedding

and what a wedding parade

we shall see.

- Are you ready?

- As ready as I'll ever be.

What's the matter with you two this

morning? You all at sixes and sevens.

Nothing's the matter.

Let's go.

- Tom...

- Ellie I've got to have her. I lose.

So do I.

I want to get married today!

Today?

Yes, before I change my mind.

Do you think we can do it?

Edgar,

we want to get married.

I thought

you two were related.

Oh no, no... And we want

to get married today.

But it takes three weeks.

Three weeks! Anything can happen

in three weeks.

- You can fix it for us Edgar.

- Irving says you can do anything.

I know, but one must have permission

from the Archbishop's office.

After all,

he's busy today.

You've got to swing it

for us Edgar.

I'll try. You two meet me

at the Vicar General's in two hours.

If it's at all possible to get a licence,

you shall be married this afternoon.

Where, where?

Clyde Street Church.

I believe I know the minister there.

This is pretty box of pickles.

I beg your pardon Sir.

- Now what can we do?

- We have to find Anne and John.

In these crowds?

I know what corner she's standing on.

Where's John?

Should be leaving the Abbey

for the reception any minute now.

You'd better find him. Ellen, I'm

going to miss you a lot from now on.

Tommy,

you're a wonderful brother.

Good luck, darling.

Thanks, Tommy.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Will you excuse me.

John!

- Ellen, what's the matter?

- John I want to marry you.

- What?

- I said I want to marry you.

You do?

Yes, meet me at Clyde Street church

at four o'clock.

Right.

What do you think

you're doing miss?

Oh officer,

I love you.

Anne! Anne!

Tom!

- Will you marry me?

- What?

- Will you marry me?

- Yes.

They didn't have to go to all this trouble,

a small wedding would've been alright.
