Father of the Bride (1950)

The original Father of the Bride is a touching father/daughter (a dynamic not often explored) movie.  I haven't seen the Steve Martin remake, so I can't really comment.  The film holds up pretty well in contemporary times, though...but man, that wedding dress sure doesn't.  How awful wedding dresses used to be, eh?  There was a cool nightmare sequence that was interesting.

The Stanford Theatre  showed this film as part of an Elizabeth Taylor retrospective (rest her soul).  She was so beautiful!  I'm gonna catch Cat on a Hot Tin Roof next week, too.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I
    could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    Hello there! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I'm
    trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share.

    Many thanks!
