Much better than that crappy remake with Steve Martin. This movie stars Spencer Tracy as a lawyer who discovers his daughter, played by Elizabeth Taylor, is about to be married. He doesn't like the idea after he finds out it's going to be a big wedding and he has to pay for it himself, with no help from the groom's parents. Their's one scene where he says to his son, he can't wait for him to get married so he won't have to pay for any of it. It shows him going through all the motions of setting the wedding up and all the problems that go along with it. Spencer Tracy is great in this movie and Joan Bennett doesn't have much to do as his wife. This was followed by a sequel a year later with the same cast and director.
