Proud father Stanley T. Banks (Spencer Tracy) remembers the day that his dear daughter Kay (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) got married. Starting from when she announces her engagement through to the wedding itself, the viewer learns of all the surprises and disasters along the way.
This charming comedy is elevated by Spencer Tracy’s sharp, understated performance as the flustered father, while Elizabeth Taylor brings grace and poise to the role of the bride. Warm, lively, and consistently entertaining, it remains easy to recommend.
