Legends of the genre such as Fred Astaire and Judy Garland star in triple feature of extravagant dancing and singing. ROYAL WEDDING (1951), TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY (1946), and FIESTA (1941) are the films included.ROYAL WEDDING: Dancing and romance collide in ROYAL WEDDING as a brother-sister dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) open their musical show in London shortly before the English royal wedding and find love of their own. Showcasing some of Astaire's most memorable dance scenes in film history--Astaire's hat-rack partner and his dancing on the ceiling (impressive even to those jaded by special effects)--this tale of finding true love when it's least expected, and least wanted, has delighted audiences since the movie's release in 1951. Flirty Ellen and dance-focused Tom have escaped the clutches of many marriage-minded partners, keeping their joint entertainment careers their first priority. When they leave New York to sail for London to open a new musical show, Ellen leaves behind many besotted men but no regrets. But when a ladies' man (and lord) falls hard for Ellen, and a British girl in the dance chorus needs Tom's help to locate her fiancé, both brother and sister realize that this time love must come first.TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY: This large-scale Technicolor musical is one of those over-the-top, maximalistic productions that the Golden Age of the Studio System was famous for! Based on the life and times of composer Jerome Kern, TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY features an all-star cast which includes the great crooner Frank Sinatra, the legendary musical starlet Judy Garland, and the notoriously beautiful Lena Horne. And of course, it features many of the hit tunes of the era.FIESTA: A fiesta is held for a girl who returns from Mexico City to her father's hacienda. A musical comedy featuring Mexican folk tunes and many Latin favorites sung in Spanish and English.
