Royal Wedding Page #2

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.

Hit me son.

What about transportation?

There's some French boat

leaving a week from next Monday.

Which one?

Who knows what's the name,

it's in French.

Don't worry I'll get you on it.

Ellen, this means we'll be

saying good-bye in ten days.

Oh yes Pete I'm so happy.

- Ellen.

- Oh, hello Dick.

I was waiting for you backstage.

That's why I'm late. I'm sorry.

- Ellen, who is this fella?

- Finish your drink Pete.

Did you hear the good news?

We're going to England

and we'll be there during the wedding!

What are you doing here, Sir?

- What do you mean? Who's he?

- A friend.

What are you doing here Sir?

I demand an answer.

Go peddle your papers!

When do you leave?

- That's an insult.

- What's an insult?

(Argument in background)

This is terribly embarrassing.

I forgot all about Dick.

I hope they don't hit each other.

We ought to start packing.

I have to buy all my new clothes

before I go.

You'll have time.

I'll send the rest of the Company

the week after you leave.

- I wonder what they'll be wearing?

- I don't know.

- Pay the man, will you?

- Sure. How much do we owe you?

- May I?

- Yes you may.

And keep the change.

I have a little business to take care of,

I'll meet you on deck.

Okay sister dear.

Hello Billy.

This is good-bye.

Thanks for coming down

to see me off.

It's hard saying good-bye

after all we've been to each other.

I know,

it's been a lovely three days.

But I'll be back soon.

Oh, dear.

I must go now.

May I walk you

up the gangplank?

Well, I'd rather you wouldn't,

you understand.

No.

Well, it's just better that way

Write to me Billy.

I will. Goodbye Ellen.

(English male voice)

I'll miss you very much Linda.

Knowing you

these past few weeks

has been one of the most exciting

things that's ever happened to me.

To me too, John.

Pete!

Ellen honey.

I thought I went to the wrong gate.

We haven't much time.

Really?

And I have so much to say.

- What?

- Well, you gonna be away.

Yes I know Pete, but what?

Suddenly knowing

you're gonna be away

makes me realise

my feelings for you.

So I thought I'd.

I mean, Ellen honey.

Visitors ashore please!

Oh dear Pete,

you'll have to go now.

But Ellen honey.

Better hurry. Write me

what you had to say, huh? Bye.

(English male voice) Barbara,

knowing you these past few weeks

has been one of the most exciting

things that's ever happened to me.

I'll miss you John.

- Good-bye baby.

- Goodbye Irv.

I know you'll be a smash. Now if you

want anything you ask my brother Edgar.

He's gonna meet you

at the hotel.

- So long Irv.

- Bye.

So long Ellen. So long.

Bye honey!

See you soon.

So long, see ya!
