    A great dramatic turn for all the main stars. Even when trying to look plain, Grace Kelly looks beautiful.

    A good film about Bing Crosby being a washed up drunkard actor, Grace Kelly as his wife who tries to keep him from falling apart, and William Holden as a director willing to take a chance on Bing for a new play. This is easily Bing's best performance of his career,it's the only f...( read more)ilm I've ever seen of his that he had to actually act. Grace is also great and won her only oscar for this performance. William Holden could do a toothpaste commercial and be a bad ass.

    Dang! Bing Crosby stole the movie! And of course William Holden is awesome as well as Grace Kelly. Very strong performances and a very good adaptation. I saw the play in NYC with Morgan Freeman in Crosby's part and I gotta say that Crosby was leaps and bounds better. Great picture.

    All the mellodrama you want and more. Personally, not a big Cosby or Holden fan, but Grace Kelly proves to be the consumate actress - and deserved the Oscar (even though she robbed Judy Garland of her A Star is Born moment.) The story of the alcoholic has been done 100's of tim...( read more)es, but this version is top notch. I particularly like the back-and-forth struggle between Crosby and Holden's characters. Add in the back story of forbidden love a-brewin' and you have a really great drama.
