Behind The Scenes

The Country Girl (1954) starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and William Holden.

This was the first movie I saw that actually made me really appreciate Grace Kelly. She was wonderful in Rear Window (1954) but she really made an impact on me in her role as a tired, yet devoted wife of alcoholic Bing Crosby in The Country Girl. I had an impression of her as being a prissy WASP type of actress who wouldn't ugly herself up for a role but this film proved me wrong.
