play by Samuel Taylor and Cornelia Otis Skinner, The Pleasure of
His Company is an old-fashioned romantic comedy. Fred Astaire
plays Biddeford "Pogo" Poole, the long-absent prodigal father of
Jessica Poole (Debbie Reynolds), who is just about to be
married. Much to the dismay of his ex-wife, Katharine (Lilli
Palmer), and her new husband, James Dougherty (Gary Merrill),
Pogo shows up at the wedding. To get back into the family
circle, he puts on the old charm, but before film's end realizes
that charm alone is no substitute for parental responsibility.
