Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Father of the Bride (1950): 1 line

  1. lineage (remake) · through Father of the Bride (1991), which they were tied to as actor, offered Annie role: Father of the Bride ⇒ Father of the Bride (the host's read).

    “there is obviously the original with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor, but fine.”

Parenthood (1989): 1 line

  1. verdict (best-Martin-movie rival) · through Father of the Bride (1991), which they were tied to as actor, offered Annie role: Parenthood ⇒ Father of the Bride (the host's read). Some would pick Parenthood as his best because it tried this type of movie first and spun off into a TV show.
    “Some people might say parenthood actually, because it's the 1st type of movie that tried to do the stuff they did.”
