      Steve D Not much here but Kelly acts the hell out of it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Grace Kelly, loaded with makeup, con phony-baloney British accent, essentially plays herself, (or the self her real-life ambitious father & MGM want us to see.) Turgid, boring, a waste. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Bittersweet tragedy of class. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review s r Alec Guinness was brilliant, eloquent, comic and well dressed. Set in turn of the century Hungary (it was on the train depot's flag) the aristocratic feel was beautiful. It was a bit dry at times, but the story still packed a punch with the melodrama being surmised in a beautiful dialogue between Guinness and Kelly. Grace Kelly was stunning, But not especially good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A charming romance with great performances from some legends. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent versions of Ferenc Molnar's play The Swan Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
