Movie Reviews

Reviewed by CodyZamboni 7 / 10

Movie is amusing, and at times, poignant. Tracy

Movie is amusing, and at times, poignant. Tracy and the radiant Elizabeth Taylor are the whole show. Their charisma makes this movie. A lot of the jokes and comedic situations are tame, or fall flat, but the overall feel good vibe, and genuine emotion, and heartbreak of a father realizing he'll be missing his daughter, make this worthwhile viewing.

Elizabeth Taylor announces to her parents that she's

Elizabeth Taylor announces to her parents that she's engaged, and before leaving that same seat admits that she doesn't know what her fiancé does for a living, just that he says "it's good to get married young". There are a few red flags there. This classic comedy basically has two jokes - "wow, that's expensive" and "wow, I'm so busy" - but Spencer Tracy gives a true star performance that shows a bit of sarcastic humor as a shield to cover up a mix of emotions hitting him, a bit of heartbreak at losing his only daughter and joy at seeing her happy. There isn't much in the way of character development or big narrative swings (even a brief squabble that threatens to derail the wedding is resolved in about two minutes), though one scene really breaks up the coasting tone - a supernatural nightmare scenario that sees Tracy sink into the aisle while others look on with giant phantom eyes. It looks like Orson Welles directed it, and as a representation of his nervousness and anxiety it's quite a spooky turn for the script. Apart from that, not many surprises especially if you're familiar with the Steve Martin remake, but an enjoyable classic that makes up for its more dated pieces with some real heart in its protagonist. Funny how Taylor is the bride-to-be in this one when she was notorious for her many marriages. Her fake film dad probably drew the line at financing that eighth marriage at Neverland Ranch. (3/5)
