Blu ray special features are in a terrible place these days. I propose we go in the opposite direction and make them good again like the stuff that’s in this one. It has what I believe to be actual footage of one of Elizabeth Taylor’s weddings. That’s insane, but it’s so much better than nothing!

Cute but very dry.

A just-right double feature to pair with Eraserhead, if you ask me.

a little less funny (and a lot more sexist) than the 90s version but it’s still super cute and elizabeth taylor was so pretty and her wedding dress is way better than the one from the remake.

Just wholesome. It’s basically a deconstruction of the ritual of marriage that also fully embraces it as a demonstration of love. It’s not the perfect idealized fantasy of Meet Me in St. Louis but it isn’t a takedown either. It’s somewhere in the middle, and that’s still in the lovely territory. I just love the way Minelli uses the geography of his sets to establish character dynamica. His houses are always so full of life. Awesome how this film feels colorful despite being in B&W as well. Staging is fantastic as always too. And the ending is just marvellous.
