Royal Wedding
Royal Wedding (1951) is a CLASSIC. It’s classic Fred Astaire, with one of his most iconic dances—you know it I am sure, it’s the one where he dances on the ceiling. And of course, Astaire is supported in the film by our lovely Star of the Month, Ms Jane Powell.
A Date with Judy
A Date with Judy (1948) is a cute film that provides a fun and frothy, idealized view of teenage life in 1940s America. Jane Powell plays the quintessential teenage girl next door to absolute perfection! And don’t miss a young Elizabeth Taylor in her first “grown up” role. (And YES, at 15 years old, Liz is already DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!)
