...for just a moment in Stanley Donen's Royal Wedding we believe that love can make us weightless.

The Retro Set
This is an engaging concoction of songs and dances in a standard musical framework, brightly dressed in color to show off its physical attributes.

Variety
Rating: 4/4 --
When all is said and done, Stanley Donen's first solo directorial assignment, after his work with Gene Kelly, is a lovely bit of frou-frou.

TV Guide
Rating: 2/5 --
Embarrassing nonsense that is barely saved by three classic musical numbers.
Film Threat
Rating: 3.5/5 --
One swell number, three or four that are good, a laugh here, a laugh there; colored newsreels of the British royal wedding and so long pal. Mr. Astaire has fared better in his lifetime -- and he has also fared much worse.

Rating: 6/10 --
It looks like a million bucks, and it's easy to like, and for [producer Arthur] Freed, that was what mattered.

Antagony & Ecstasy
This is the one in which Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling, an impeccably executed bit of movie magic and a sublime expression of Donen's love for the medium.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Brother and sister dance team Tom and Ellen Bowen (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) are on their way to England when Ellen strikes up a shipboard romance with Lord John Brindale (Peter Lawford). Meanwhile, confirmed bachelor Tom grows smitten with dancer Anne Ashmond (Sarah Churchill). Will romance break up the act? This also happens to be the movie where Astaire dances on the ceiling, an act accomplished by building a set inside a revolving barrel, or "squirrel cage," and mounting the cameraman to an ironing board which could be rotated along with the room.
