Father of the Bride (1950) ***
30 May 2005
Spencer Tracy is great as a very agitated dad who's faced with the rigors of accepting and dealing with the reality of preparing his little girl's wedding. Tracy is a lot of fun as the jittery father, but while I really liked the movie, I felt that the first ten minutes or so really showed the actor at a highly funny fever pitch which appeared to dwindle a bit as the story moved along and Tracy gradually got more and more used to the idea of the impending wedding. As the young daughter, a very youthful Elizabeth Taylor is absolutely stunning, and a true beauty to behold.
