Father of the Bride (1950)
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Starring: Spencer Tracy, Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor
Synopsis:
A lawyer struggles to come to terms with his daughter's impending nuptials.
Impressions:
I've seen the remake before, so I was looking forward to checking out the original. It combines comedy and drama in a way only marriage can. Spencer Tracy shows off his range here and there's a good dynamic between him and Joan Bennett. There's plenty of humor, but it can get pretty bittersweet at times. I don't know if it's a good idea or not for people going through a marriage in the family to see this, but it is worth seeing.
