Bing Crosby & Grace Kelly: High Society (1956)

“The lovely Grace Kelly in her final film role before she retired from acting and became Princess Grace of Monaco.” 


I'm willing to bet the cameraman (assuming it was a cameraman) and the photographer (assuming it was a male photographer) couldn't wait to see The Amazing Grace Kelly in front of that pool to get the great shots that they did of her. Perhaps they were even holding out and refusing to leave, before they got these shots.

I’ve only seen bits and pieces of High Society, which to me anyway as someone who isn’t at least a full-time movie critic, is a pretty overrated movie. But I kind of like this scene, because Grace plays a somewhat stuck up, spoiled, young woman, who doesn’t like her parents that much, especially her father and they don’t approve of her completely. And she wants to get pass that and decides the way to move pass that, is to marry a pretty boring man who no one close to her is crazy about.

Grace Kelly’s character’s ex-husband (played by Bing Crosby) sees right through that and is telling her, that she could be a special person if she just let her guard down and have feeling for other people’s feelings.

Bing’s character was being sort of a constructive critic towards Grace’s character. A new man Tracy’s life (played by Grace) Mike Connor (played by Frank Sinatra) also sees Tracy’s wall that she has built around herself and tries to knock it down in this movie as well.
