Directed by Vincente Minnelli
As the harried father of a beautiful, betrothed daughter, fretting over her coming marriage and burgeoning wedding plans, Tracy trades on his hard-earned credibility as a man of emotional depth. Where previously he stood as a monument of masculinity, here he plays the patriarch as object of fun. The role of “Daddy” became a Tracy staple in the second half of his career.
