Product: Father of the Bride [VHS] (1950)
Rating: 5.0
A great family film...Better than the Remake...
Spencer Tracy is perfect in his role as the father of the bride. The love for his daughter played by Elizabeth Taylor rings so true in this film. Spencer Tracey gives one of the best comedic performances I have ever seen.Joan Bennet is also excellent as the mother of the bride.This comedy is never over the top and the characters seem very real. There are some good laughs.The upper middle class home and lifestyle reminds me of the book "The Way We Never Were" and at the same times makes me nostagic for the 1950s.If Elizabeth Taylor's character's call to her dad at the end of film doesn't choke you up then you are made of wood!Get this film.
