Father of the Bride
- Synopsis
- 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.

- Critics' reviews

-
-
"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."
Pauline Kael: The New Yorker
-
"One of the finest, funniest and most civilized of all Hollywood domestic comedies"
Michael Wilmington: Chicago Tribune
-
"One of the bleakest films of a bleak decade"
Chicago Reader
