Spencer Tracy as Stanley Banks - first the father of the bride - now a Grandpa

Part four
Several months pass by - the calm before the storm. Buckley and Kay have a fight and Kay leaves. Stanley works with Buckley to attempt to find where Kay went. They have some great father / kid who married my daughter bantor. Stanley has a teary-eyed talk with Kay. Buckley and Kay make up as Kay's hormonal pre-natal rush subsides.

Part five
The Dunstans play some bridge with the Banks - and Kay's mind wanders. Time passes slowly as the child's birth nears. Buckley is jittery and Kay is feeling anxious as well. Once again - Stanley steps in to save the day and reassure nervous newlyweds. The day arrives. Ellie drives like a maniac on her way to the hospital. Ooops - false alarm. Then a call in the middle of the night to Stanley - the baby's already here - it's a boy. The baby likes to cry every time Stanley tries to hold it (several funny scenes).

Stanley has a chat with Doris Dunstan (Billie Burke) about what to name the new baby. Billie Burke is best known for her role as "The Good Witch" in The Wizard of OZ.

Part six
Kay brings the baby to the Banks house - the little bundle will be staying for a few days while Kay goes to Boston. Stanley takes the baby for a walk, and he loses the baby? Will he find him? And will they ever be friends? See for yourself!
