I just saw for the first time ever this movie made in 1950; directed by Vincente Minnelli; and starring Elizabeth Taylor, Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett. Ms. Taylor was only 18 when she made this film and was frightening and eternally beautiful. She is so petite that she almost could adorn her own wedding cake. The movie, however, as the title implies, belongs to Mr. Tracy who plays her father who cannot bear to see his little daughter grow up and get married. There is a lot of most fathers in Mr. Tracy’s character. He has some great lines and some funny scenes and endears himself to us with his gentle humor– the footage where he gets stuck in his kitchen making drinks and doesn’t get to make a speech about his beloved daughter, just to point out one delightful instance. He is such a bungler– can’t get to Ms. Taylor at the wedding reception to bid her goodbye either.
I did not find this 54 year-old movie dated at all. Some things never change. Love may be eternal and most families the world over act pretty much the same when it comes to seeing their children leave home.
First, a warning: this is the colorized version of this classic black and white film, so avoid it if you’re a film connoisseur. The original black and white version is infinitely superior to this poorly done colorization.
Now, the good news. This film showcases Spencer Tracy’s remarkable acting ability and he delivers a witty and intelligent performance as Elizabeth Taylor’s long-suffering father. Spence has several monologues which are a joy to watch. His acting gift (along with Charles Laughton) is an absolute wonder and it’s always a pleasure to watch him. Joan Bennet is adequate in a supporting role and Elizabeth Taylor is breathtaking as the 18-year-old soon to be wed daughter. Liz’s performance is actually quite good and her interplay with Tracy is especially effective.
Yes, this movie is dated in places, but Tracy’s performance is worth watching the entire movie. He is in nearly every scene and transforms a seemingly average movie into something really special.
