The Bride Gets the Thrills! Father Gets the Bills! "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 is the bride in this lively Vincente Minnelli-directed classic. Taylor is glowingly showcased- and reflected in three mirrors when first seen in the 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 the Best Picture and Screenplay. Her comes the bride, there goes dad's wallet... and everyone's heart. What sparkling fun! |
