Royal Wedding Page #3

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.

Hey. Who are you

waiving up there?

My girl, right there, see.

That's my girl.

Oh, don't give me that.

That's my girl.

I bet against five

on Dixie boy.

What a beautiful,

beautiful day.

Isn't it wonderful.

We don't know a soul on the boat,

and we can have fun

together for a change.

Yeah.

- Good day.

- Good day.

I don't know him, Tom.

Honest I don't. I want to write a letter.

Okay baby.

Don't forget

we've got to rehearse.

What time should

I meet you?

Two o'clock sharp,

in the gym.

- I won't keep you long.

- I'll be there don't worry.

- Now don't be late.

- Okay.

- Good day.

- Good day.

There's carbon paper in the middle

drawer, if you want to make duplicates.

I'm not writing a letter,

I was just doodling,

waiting for an opportunity

to introduce myself.

My name is Brindale. Lord

John Brindale, and what's yours?

Bowen.

Duchess Agatha Bowen.

Oh, no really. What is it?

Oh, let's see now.

E. B. E, is that Ethel?

Wait a minute.

Bowen, why of course -

you're Ellen Bowen aren't you?

You're doing fine.

It's very stupid of me,

I should have known.

I only saw your show a few

weeks ago. Please forgive me.

Oh, that's alright,

I know you have a lot on your mind.

Oh, I can explain those two little

episodes that you witnessed yesterday.

- Oh, you can?

- Yes.

Then go ahead.

Well, you see,

they're both terribly nice girls,

and they're so fond of me, that I couldn't

bear depriving either one of them.

You know how it is.

To be kind to people,

one has to be a very good liar.

Tell me,

why were you following me?

Following you?

I was doing no such thing.

I was only saying goodbye

to a couple of...

- The same?

- Yeah.

Does this sort of thing

happen to you very often?

Oh, all the time.

And you?

Constantly.

I guess we're both

two kind people.

I have to get a stamp.

Do you live in New York?

No,

I've been there on business,

but I'm just going home

for the wedding.

- The Royal Wedding?

- Yeah.

You're going to the wedding?

Well

I'm escorting someone, yes.

You really are

a Lord aren't you?

I'm afraid so.

My, my!

Haven't you met anyone

who held a title before?

Only Joe Louis.

- I'm very glad you're Ellen Bowen.

- Why?

It means that the chap you're with

is your brother, not your husband.

Do you know

what I did last night?

No, what?

I surveyed this whole boat,

and I discovered

that you were the most

attractive girl on board.

Well, thank you.

And I kept thinking that,

what a pity she's married,

because that's going

to make things terribly awkward.

But it isn't going to be

awkward at all now.

- Thanks for the use of the hall, purser.

- Not at all.

If you see my sister on deck,
