I'm currently 15. Growing up, my father introduced me to this movie and I fell in love. I don't have him in my life anymore but we'd often dance to this song or watch the movie, it was our thing. We also loved the movies, Austin Powers, Dot Kangaroo and Home Alone 1. Cherish the moments you have with your family and always have things you consider to be "your thing". I'd say mine and my dad's thing was this movie.
Whenever we get bored and desolate due to our daily same routines,we can be truly invigorated and flabbergasted by this diverting,nourishing,and stimulating vaudevillian number of Every Night at Seven by Fred Astaire and Jane Powell.This is one of the best musical spectacles in MGM's Royal Wedding. Under Nick Castle's splendid dance direction Fred Astaire had energetically and majestically displayed his capability and gentility in dancing with effervescent and resplendent Jane Powell.It's quite refreshing and soothing to marvel at the beauty and grandeur of the classic musical movies and to admire the remarkable stars and the incredible film crews in the olden times.
I only heard this song for the first time a couple of months ago and it is just wonderful! And I had never heard of Jane Powell either but after watching her in this and 'How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life'...... well, what a talent, she's an absolute knockout! And she clearly had a gift for comedy too. Wow!
I'm surprised I found this! I was watching an old VHS recording and the first 2 minutes of this song interrupted the show before the show resumed. Lol. Kind of want to watch the movie now.
Tiana Brown: Your use of “commemorate” is too complimentary to the MGM upper brass. More likely “take advantage” of the Queen’s marriage is more likely.
How is it that I strongly miss the 50's but wasn't even born yet . . . I guess this is the cause of all my closest friends calling me an old soul . . . traditional values that were considered ideal that every one made their best effort towards . . .although, since there's outliers/exceptions to every statistic, it is obvious to me that there were some men who were not the ideal husband of the day . . . and the wives of those men all came together in bitterness (a trait that most women wield with overpridefulness, and wield it only too well, even though it has in a round about way ruined the economy, whether any of anybody is wiling to admit it or not) . . . Are they fully to blame, no. Those horrible men outliers who didn't do their very best towards the ideal. They are partially to blame as well, even though they well knew what bitterness of women can do . . . but like always is the tendency, they must not have cared enough for the betterment of the next generation, or at least successfully tricked themselves into thinking that their wives would not hurt the next generation tooo much if at all. All who think sufficiently long enough about this, will agree with me. And those who don't are in serious denial. To those I only have one sentence to say. Just because you deny the facts I have observed here does not make them any less true. And yes I can say I have "observed" them. I have resources who have lived through the fifties. And I have the idealistic image provided by old tv shows (over-simplified, perhaps, but accurately displays the idealistic image well enough) And according to my sources, the idealistic image wasn't actually too far from reality, no matter how simplified.
The little screen in the corner of sitting room or parlour and the soaps and the incessant noise of modern music seems to be OK for the present There may be a reawakening--- but don't hold your breath.
This was Jane Powell's breakthrough, professionally. She was third choice to dance with Fred and had been trying to get into the top flight for seven years. Metro had expected much of the teenaged Powell, signing her without a test. Joe Pasternak had done a fair job of building her up as a cutesie successor to Deanna Durbin, a kind of singing Sandra Dee in a string of colored travelogue or period pieces such as 'Nancy Goes to Rio'. But audiences were tepid. Jane showed improved hoofing ability in 'Royal Wedding', though the age gap between purported siblings was too wide (and undertones therefore doubly icky). Miss P went on to find one role that was absolutely up her alley, in 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' with Howard Keel. He was more complementary, younger and beefier than the pixieish Fred. But like other postwar emergent musical stars, such as Lanza, Gaynor and Gene Nelson, both missed the bus: the genre was becoming unaffordable. 'Hit the Deck', a year after 'Seven Brides', was Powell's last good part. and she was one of several names*. She told interviewers that she had no time for career at the expense of domesticity, but her later years belied that. She adapted well to non-filmic venues, where her reputation grew until she became a big draw. She was performing on stage as late as 2010, when over 80. She also went through five husbands. *In 1958 came a dire stab at straight drama as the alcoholic daughter of Hedy Lamarr (sic) in 'The Female Animal'. Jane was 30, with several husbands and kids; yet still she was cast as a teen, albeit a 'bad girl' this time.
Burton Lane had such a gift for melodies that were always fresh and never predictable. A great songwriter.

To think that when this was made The Queen was getting married. This film was made to commemorate her wedding.

My favorite Jane Powell movie. It's a shame that Fred Astaire and she played siblings.

Astaire. Russian teachers...Austerlitz. 😮❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 WGNJMNFAS
They’re playing brother and sister but they’re 30 years apart in age
and during those decades the family had raised enough money for the girl to have the singing lessons her brother missed
They simply had different mothers😊.
