Made in 1987, GRACE KELLY: THE AMERICAN PRINCESS was one of the first major documentary projects to detail Kelly's remarkable Hollywood career and later life as Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace of Monaco.

Warmly narrated by future A&E Biography stalwart Richard Kiley, the documenary has interviews with the "usual suspects", including friend/bridesmaid Rita Gam, Judy Balaban Quine, director Delbert Mann and producer Stanley Kramer. It's great to have some insightful interviews with some of Grace's surviving co-stars, too (Louis Jourdan from "The Swan" and Jimmy Stewart from "Rear Window").

Soft-pedaling some of the more controversial aspects of Grace's Hollywood life (such as her parade of male lovers), this documentary is much more a loving tribute than it is a tawdry exposé. There's lots of great footage from her movies and some rare Kelly family clips that have rarely been used anywhere else. This documentary had the blessing of the Kelly family estate, and Grace's younger sister Lizanne participates in the interviews.

Recommended for fans.

A precious picture of childhood of Grace is collected in this DVD.
However, there are comparatively few pictures of her thing and is dissatisfied slightly.
The reason is to have too much comment of other people.
I wanted to watch a lot of figures of beautiful, wonderful Grace.
