Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The elegance of Grace Kelly--who defined the blonde beauty and cool, slightly aloof sexiness of the classic Alfred Hitchcock heroine--is given glowing adoration in Grace Kelly: American Princess. This concise documentary uses a mix of family photos, fashion and advertising shots, clips from her 11 Hollywood films, and interviews with friends, producers, and her former agent to chart Kelly's rise to movie stardom and her transformation into the Princess of Monaco. The media frenzy around her wedding easily equaled any contemporary celebrity spectacle; when she and Prince Rainier were married, tourism in Monaco doubled. Through it all, Kelly maintained her sense of dignity, kindness, and intelligence. Grace Kelly: American Princess doesn't present any surprises, and while Kelly's life had its setbacks, they were relatively few and minor--but her beauty and charisma make this documentary eminently watchable. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars A story of an elegant, beautiful princess., July 25, 2007

By	Nao (JAPAN) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

Her name is famous in Japan, but various things are not known well.
I was able to know her life with this DVD.
It is the document story that this picture is splendid, and is sad beautifully.
However, it does not have a mistake that she is a true American princess.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPER MOVIE COLLECTION, June 27, 2007

By	Lavender Rose (San Diego, USA) - See all my reviews

EXCELLENT MOVIE THAT POTRAYED THE PRINCESS FROM HER CHILDHOOD TO STARDOM AND BECOMING THE AMERICAN PRINCESS OF MONACO THAT MAKES HER COUNTRY, AMERICA PROUD OF HER!

GRACE KELLY IS A REAL FINE LADY. ALTHOUGH AMERICAN BORN, AND LOVED TO BE AN ACTRESS, SHE DENIED THE OFFER OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK TO BE A STAR IN ONE OF HIS MOVIES. THE REASON WAS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF MONACO WHO HAD LOVED HER AS THEIR OWN PRINCESS WERE NOT HAPPY OF HER GOING BACK AS AN ACTRESS AGAIN. ALTHOUGH PRINCE RANIER PERMITTED PRINCESS GRACE TO ACCEPT ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S OFFER TO BE THE STAR IN HIS MOVIE, PRINCESS KELLY DENIED THE OFFER BECAUSE HER LOYALTY TO THE PEOPLE IN MONACO.

I ALSO BOUGHT SEVERAL MOVIES OF GRACE KELLY TO BE ONE OF MY CLASSIC COLLECTIONS. I PURCHASED AS WELL GRACE KELLY MOVIES: MOGAMBO, TO CATCH A THIEF, COUNTRY GIRL, HIGH SOCIETY, AND DIAL "M" FOR MURDER. GRACE KELLY IS A GREAT AND PROFESSIONAL ACTRESS! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE MOVIES!

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Born to a wealthy and competitive Philadelphia family, Grace Kelly was a lovely and talented woman who went from model, to stage and television actress, to movie star, to becoming the Princess of Monaco. Ably narrated by Richard Kiley, "Grace Kelly: The American Princess" is part of the Janson Media 'The Hollywood Collection' DVD series and presents the life and death of one of America's most beloved celebrities. This one-hour biography is enhanced further with the inclusion of a Grace Kelly Photo Gallery; an interview with filmmaker Gene Feldman about Grace Kelly which aired on the television show 'Good Morning America'; and a 'Meet the Producers' segment. "Grace Kelly: The American Princess" is a 'must' for the legions of Grace Kelly fans and would make a popular addition to community library DVD collections.
