I found another box set while organizing the collection in the basement. Like before, I have no recollection of when I bought this box set of Grace Kelly’s movies. This 7-DVD set includes:
Mogambo (1953)
Dial M for Murder (1954)
The Country Girl (1954)
The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954)
To Catch A Thief (1955)
High Society (1956)
In addition, this set includes Princess Grace de Monaco: A Moment in Time, a documentary featuring Grace Kelly’s final interview. Which is your favorite Grace Kelly movie? GRADE: B+
Rear Window or High Noon.
Steve, REAR WINDOW would be my pick, too.
Probably “Rear Window”–but she’s impossibly beautiful and impossibly classy in almost everything.
Deb, I first saw Grace Kelly in TO CATCH A THIEF and I fell in love!
I had to think about this for a moment – and then look it up:
Über den Dächern von Nizza is the German title of “To catch a thief” and it was our favourite movie, showing a kind of life we young Germans could only dream of …
I have to confess that when I visited the Cote D’Azure (Nizza, Cannes, Monte Carlo) much later (already in my 30s) I was rather disappointed though and we took our Volkswagen van straight to Spain which was much nicer – and also less expensive!
Her other films of course were fantastic too and I remember how everyboy went crazy when the news about her relation to that prince came out – it felt strange.
Wolf, rumors swirl that Grace Kelly was “friendly” with a lot of men.
I like To Catch a Thief and Rear Window, but then I even like High Society.
Bill, I need to rewatch HIGH SOCIETY. It’s been decades since I’ve seen it.
She is beautiful in all of her movies but I never thought her much of an actress. She didn’t need to be, I guess.
Patti, I think Grace Kelly’s allure substituted for any acting that was required.
What Patti said. I’ve never been a fan, but I would definitely go with REAR WINDOW and TO CATCH A THIEF.
Jeff, Grace Kelly was iconic before that word entered everyone’s vocabulary.
probably to catch a thief but I also liked rear window. Don’t remember much about high society, so will need to put it on my netflix queue
Maggie, I need to check out HIGH SOCIETY, too. It’s been decades since I last saw it so I don’t remember much about it.
To Catch A Thief. I like High Society, but that’s because of Sinatra/Crosby, Kelly doesn’t do much in it.
Rick, I’m surprised Grace Kelly won her Oscar for COUNTRY GIRL. As you point out, she had a lot of talented help in TO CATCH A THIEF and HIGH SOCIETY.
Looks like the blog accepts my new nickname, so expect me to keep using it for a while, though I’ll try the real me periodically to check. Odd, I have no trouble on other sites. Still, I’d rather have WordPress than Blogger.
Rick, I applaud your persistence. GOOGLE is working on a program to compete with WORDPRESS and BLOGGER. I might make the switch when it’s introduced.
Didn’t love HIGH SOCIETY because of my dislike for Bing Crosby.
Jeff, Bing Crosby could be annoying in movies from the 1950s on.
George I just watch a youtube clip of johnny carson with jonathan winters. He mentioned being on a tv show called davis rules. Have you heard of it?/ I looked on netflix and didn’t find it. I think he won an emmy for it
Maggie, DAVIS RULES was on TV in 1991 and 1992. It might be available on YouTube or HULU.
The Country Girl proved she could act and didn’t depend on her looks, or Bing on his singing! I’ll go with that!
Bob, Grace Kelly certainly looked fetching in THE COUNTRY GIRL!
HIGH SOCIETY and DIAL M FOR MURDER are the ones that I would be happiest re-watching. The rest are all all perfectly OK but never got me too excited, must admit. REAR WINDOW is probably the film of her I liked the most.
Sergio, REAR WINDOW still has the power to shock me. It might be Hitchcock’s best film.
