"I would like to say a few words about weddings" a weary man says from the middle of a muddle of rice and scattered bottles. What follows is a warm witty look at what it means to be Father of the Bride. Spencer Tracy is the father and Elizabeth Taylor the bride in this lively Vincente Minnelli-directed classic. Taylor is glowingly showcased - and reflected in three mirrors when first seen in a wedding gown. Tracy's performance captures every loving father's exasperations and joys as the day approaches. It also captured the fourth of his nine* Best Actor Academy Award* nominations. The film also earned nominations** for Best Picture and Screenplay. Here comes the bride there goes dad's wallet - and everyone's heart. What sparkling fun!Running Time: 93 min.System Requirements: Running Time 93 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 012569508224

She had to break it to us casually ...and over dinner!

Even though this may not be Elizabeth Taylor's most popular role, it is probably one of my favorites that she is in. She's not the unattainable, rich society girl she normally plays. She's just a normal girl living with a normal family.

Kay Banks (Elizabeth Taylor) is the only daughter in her family and it causes quite a bit of commotion when she announces to her parents one evening at dinner that she is getting married. Her dad, Stanley Banks (brilliantly played by Spencer Tracy) immediately thinks through her long list of past dates trying to figure out which one it could be. She announces "Buckley" as the lucky guy. "What's his last name? I hope it's better than his first!" fires back Tracy.
As they go through all the planning and arranging and everything for the wedding they encounter quite a few comedic situations - such as Spence tearing his suit! And as he explains to his daughter how they used to do things he gets the reply, "Oh, that was millions of years ago..."
This is a great classic and (I think) is way better than the re-make!

Spencer sells it.

Spencer sells it. Steve Martin was funny. Spencer sells it.
It is in black and white for the first ten minutes, but you are so pulled into the movie now that you have forgotten that by now. At the end of the movie when the daughter calls, you know that Spencer sells it and whether you thought you had bought into this version of the movie or not, you know now.
Picture and sound are good.

enjoyable

This DVD was very enjoyable and there was no indecency in it whatsoever. It's much better than the recent Father of the Bride with Steve Martin. I was able to buy Father's Little Dividend with this dvd and enjoyed it as much as the first. It's well worth your money and time.

FATHER OF THE BRIDE

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL VERSION. VERY GOOD. ALL THE SITUATIONS THAT GEORGE BROOKS FACES ARE RELATABLE TO EVERY FATHER WHO HAS A DAUGHTRE GETTING MARRIED.

Better than I expected...

I thought this movie would be a bummer when I saw the introduction, but it was better than I thought and pretty funny. Spencer Tracy plays the father to Elizabeth Taylor's bride, and he's hesitant about her marrying at the age of 20. But she won't be stopped, and all chaos ensues as the expenses and situational problems crop up along the way. However, there is a happy ending for all. It's a nice movie to see.
