Jane Powell, Part 2

Tonight being the second Wednesday of the month, we get another installment of Star of the month Jane Powell on TCM. This time, we're into the early 1950s, starting off at 8:00 with Royal Wedding, in which she and Fred Astaire travel to London for the wedding of then Princess Elizabeth to Philip. (It's amazing that the two are still married and Elizabeth is still Queen.) This is the one with Astaire's famous dance on the ceiling:



That's followed at 10:00 PM by Two Weeks With Love, a movie that might be more famous for a young Debbie Reynolds singing this terrible song:



The rest of the night's lineup is:

Nancy Goes to Rio at midnight;
Small Town Girl at 2:00 AM; and
Rich, Young, and Pretty at 4:00 AM
