Father of the Bride (1950)
Country: US
Technical: bw 93m
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Cast: Spencer Tracy, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Bennett
Synopsis:
A doting father learns to accept that his daughter is to be taken from him, but finds it harder to accept all the material demands that follow in preparing for the wedding.
Review:
A classic comedy of observation fronted by a wonderfully curmudgeonly Tracy at his most natural, delivering straight-to-camera monologues with practised ease. Minnelli guides his top-drawer cast and crew safely and surely to port, and at the same time delivers a work which speaks volumes about the society we still live in and the problems we face.
