Product: Father of the Bride [VHS] (1950)
Rating: 5.0
The original is still the best
I must say that this is far more charming and sentimental than the remake. The relationships presented here seem more real and less scripted.Tracy and Taylor have an unmatched chemistry as father and daughter that actually stretched into real life, lasting until his death.Minelli's direction brings real verve to the story without resorting to cheap physical humor. I love the verbal repartee and the cadre of classic Hollywood actors.The DVD itself is a good transfer both in video and audio. I enjoyed the extras as well, although I couldn't seem to get audio on the two newsreels included.A great trip down the aisle and memory lane.
