Marie Galante
Movie newcomer Ketti Gallian plays Marie Galante, who is kidnapped by a drunken sea captain and left stranded on the Yucatan. While working as a cafe singer hoping to pay for her ticket out of the Panama Canal, she meets American detective Crawbett, Spencer Tracy, who is the only person who believes her abduction story. In a series of twists and turns, the two find themselves caught in the middle of an unexpected adventure, including espionage and a plan to blow up the canal. Based on a novel by Jacques Deval, Marie Galante was intended to make Gallian a star but in the end, it was the brilliant Tracy who brought in the audiences.

Spencer Tracy On Film-A Biography
Spencer Tracy was a man blessed with an incredible gift yet tormented from within. It's almost as if there were two Spencer Tracys. There was the talented magnanimous Tracy. In his personal life he could be charming, witty and surprisingly generous, and in his chosen profession of acting, he was considered peerless. And then there was the melancholy Tracy, the troubled, complex man who lived an uneasy life. In Laurence Olivier's words, Spencer Tracy was "the greatest living screen actor". This biography explores the man who struggled with life and yet managed to leave us with a treasury of great work.

Father's Little Dividend
Reprising his role from the 1950 release, Father of the Bride, Spencer Tracy rejoins Joan Bennett, Elizabeth Taylor and Don Taylor in a charming sequel to MGM's original gem. Tracy portrays Elizabeth Taylor's father, Stanley Banks who is still recovering from the effects of giving up his "little girl", Kay, to Buckley Dunstan, played by Don Taylor. Upon hearing the news that the newlyweds are expecting, Tracy opposes the new arrival, feeling the stresses of middle age and family life, but he eventually accepts the inevitable. Throughout the film Tracy maintains a wonderful balance between humor and humanity with an unequaled performance. Vincente Minnelli also returns as the film's director.
