Watched on a plane.

This is the classic version of the film, in black and white, featuring a man looking back over the circumstances leading up to his daughter's wedding.

Starring a young Elizabeth Taylor, this is a very enjoyable, sometimes moving film. (

A man doesn't like paying for his daughter's wedding.

1/4 (Bad).

I think this is probably meant to be a comedy (I can't see what else it could be trying to be), but I'm really not sure. (
