Royal Wedding, from 1951, was particularly good for costumes. Jane Powell was new to me, since most of the 1950s is a movie blank. Good, harmless diversion, with all music (Burton Lane and Alan Lerner) forgettable entirely with two exceptions. Ruth Reichl's Comfort Me With Apples, courtesy of the library, is remarkably candid; it would appear that mushrooms and shrimp must be her two favorite foods.
