Father of the Bride (1950 Vincente Minnelli)

The far superior original in which Spencer Tracy is superb. Extremely simple filming in long takes, though featuring a brilliant designed dream sequence.  Joan Bennett is the wife and Don Taylor is to marry Elizabeth Taylor, who I'm still not sure is any good. With Leo G Carroll and Billie Burke. Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett (The Thin Man) wrote it, John Alton filmed it at MGM.
