An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Royal Wedding (released in Australia as "Wedding Bells"), the 1951 Stanley Donen New York/England romantic dancing marriage musical ("MGM's gayest Technicolor Musical!"; "The story of a famed singing, dancing, brother and sister team!"; "Story and Screen Play by Alan Jay Lerner"; "Music by Burton Lane"; "Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner"; loosely based on the life of Fred Astaire and his sister Adele, and Fred got to play himself, and Jane Powell, who was 30 years younger than him, played his sister, when in real life, his sister was three years older than him!) starring Fred Astaire, Jane Powell, Peter Lawford, Sarah Churchill (daughter of Winston Churchill), Keenan Wynn, and Albert Sharpe. Note that this is the movie with the classic sequence where Fred Astaire literally dances all around a room, including both walls and the ceiling! Also note that Jane Powell is primarily known as a singing star, having started as a teen, but in this movie, she does quite a bit of dancing, and she does it quite well! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a key book still that measures 8 1/4" x 10". There are many key book stills that measure 8" x 11" and have punch holes in the extra 1", but this is one of the key book stills that measures 8 1/4" x 10" exactly, and has no punch holes, and it has a stamp on the back that reads "THIS IS A KEY SET PRINT". Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Condition: good to very good. There is a tiny brown stain in Astaire's jacket and creases in the right corners. Learn More about condition grades
