Create-A-Caption: Royal Wedding


In the 1951 Stanley Donen-directed musical Royal Wedding, Fred Astaire and Jane Powell are a brother/sister dance team who travel to England to perform during the nuptials of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip and manage to each find love along the way. One of the late, great Donen’s more underrated efforts, Royal Wedding is highlighted by performances of standards like “Too Late Now,” “Open Your Eyes” and “You’re All the World to Me” (which features Astaire dancing on the walls and ceiling of his hotel room).

As we continue to remember Stanley Donen, we have taken a still from Royal Wedding and given it the Create-A-Caption treatment. We ask you to add your own comedic comment below!

You really shouldn’t have expected royalty to share your passion for performing musical numbers during inclement weather!
