I caught this on TV the other night while suffering from a bout of insomnia. It didn't put me to sleep, which is a good thing, and made for a pleasant diversion. Cheryl Ladd is lovely and luminous as Grace Kelly, but is given little to chew on acting-wise. That's true of the movie as a whole: it looks great (costumes, make-up, and hair are marvelously done) but skates along the surface. We get the usual tough-as-nails but heart-of-gold dad, who is distant emotionally, and the string of relationships Ladd goes through before meeting Mr. Right. There's no meat here, but at least the picture doesn't dredge up the worst possible details about Princess Grace and parade them about -- there's a degree of respect for the subject. It seems to follow the standard TV bio-pic formula; it's also shot with that gauzy filtered-lens look common to made-for-TV movies of the early 1980's. Enjoyable if you're in the mood.

I enjoyed it alot and will watch it over and over. Thanks. Connie J.

Ok 1 star is because is not what i thinking will be!! Yes on you information about the video you wrote that this is a movie with Cheryl Ladd, but is not!!! This is an intimate portrait of the lovely and adorable Grace Kelly, (fot the documentary 5 stars), but is not what i would like to have!!!!!
I'm so idsappointed with Amazon for this!!!
