Father's Little Dividend

Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor reprise their father/daughter roles in this sequel to the popular "Father of the Bride". This time around Stanley Banks (Tracy) finds himself resisting the idea of becoming a grandfather. You can't stop nature, though, and Grandpa soon finds himself in a series of comical misadventures involving his new grandson. Legendary director Vincente Minnelli shot this charming family film in a mere 22 days in 1950, the same year he directed his classic "An American in Paris". The cast includes Joan Bennett, Billie Burke, and a 14-year-old Russ Tamblyn, years before he appeared in “West Side Story” as the leader of the Jets!
