Comedy. Romance
The comic trials and tribulations that beset a family, mostly the father, prior to their daughter's wedding day. Taylor and Tracy give wonderful performances and it's easy to understand why this was remade in 1991. The colorized version doesn't add much. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Picture, Best Actor-Spencer Tracy, Best Screenplay.

"One of the best comedies MGM made in the 1950s" | ||

"Within its own terms the picture is sensitive and very well done, but it's also tiresomely fraudulent -- an idealization of a safe, shuttered existence, the good life according to M-G-M." | ||

|
"One of the finest, funniest and most civilized of all Hollywood domestic comedies" | ||
|
|
|
"One of the bleakest films of a bleak decade" | ||
 |
|
"Thoroughly enchanting comedy" | ||

"The scenes between Taylor and Spencer Tracy are sweet and utterly lacking in artifice, and although the movie asks little more than her presence, she provides it with simple, natural grace" |
