Broadway's Best 4 Musical Set
This four film collection include: Royal Wedding, Perils of Pauline, Till The Clouds Roll By and Happy Go Lovely. See individual titles below for complete details.
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.
Not Rated
Runtime: 105 mins.
Perils of Pauline
Perils of Pauline is a musical comedy based on the life of Pearl White (Betty Hutton), one of the most successful silent film actresses of her day. White begins the film as a sweatshop worker who entertains coworkers by singing to them. When a successful actress, Julia Gibbs, comes to pick up a costume, she hears White singing and helps her break into show business. Eventually, both actresses end up in Hollywood, where White's tempestuous nature lands her the lead role in a cliffhanger serial, Perils of Pauline. In the series, each twenty-minute episode ends with Pauline's life in danger, and each subsequent flick begins with her rescue.
Many of the events depicted in the film are true--the serial THE PERILS OF PAULINE was in fact the most successful of its day, and White actually started off as a sweatshop worker. The romantic plotline, in which White and stage actor Mike Farrington fall in and out of love for over a decade, is a product of scriptwriter P.J. Wolfson's ingenuity. The song "I Wish I Didn't Love You So" was nominated for an Oscar, and the song "Poor Pauline" was a popular hit in 1914 when the series began. Other songs in the flick include "The Sewing Machine" and "Rumble, Rumble, Rumble."
Not Rated
Runtime: 92 mins.
TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY

Filled with energy and excitement the film boasts a string of hit songs including the magnificent classic Old Man River, sung with such incredible power by Frank Sinatra. Starring June Allyson, Judy Graland, Frank Sinatra and Robert Walker.
