"The Swan" 1956, Grace Kelly, Louis Jourdan, Clip #4

Clip #4. This is the last clip, which is located a little over halfway through the film. There's still plenty left to go.

This really all I dare put up—sorry there can't be any more. To find out how the movie ends (and it may not end in the way you suppose), look for this movie on TCM (Turner Classic Movies), that's where I got a recording. Or, there are VHS tapes for sale on Amazon.

The story is about a royal family who is hoping to lure a prince (Alec Guiness) to marry their daughter (Grace Kelly), who is a princess of a small country. The prince is only going to visit for a short time, so the mother of the princess decides to use a tutor (Louis Jourdan) as a pawn in order to make the prince jealous.

In this clip, we see Princess Alexandra has discovered that she's bitten off more than she can chew with the infatuated tutor. Also, we start to see that perhaps the Prince (Alec Guiness) might be a little jealous after all.

This film is a little slow in parts, but for the most part quite charming and funny. Grace Kelly is at her most luminous. Also stars Louis Jourdan, Brian Aherne, Alec Guiness, Jessie Royce Landis, and Estelle Winwood. Read more about this film here: http://imdb.com/title/tt0049815/

And petition MGM to release this film on DVD!

My favourite Grace Kelly movie. My heart breaks for both her and the magnificent Louis Jourdan. How can we not fall in love with both of them.

Oh Louis, you are a saucy, saucy minx.

A tour at Biltmore House, which I've visited multiple times, introduced me to The Swan. But it was these clips that got me to buy the DVD. I love this beautifully made and humor-filled movie but my heart breaks for the princess and the professor. I cried and cired...Oooh, what happens to "Love triumphs over all"? I can't decide what the prince means by saying "And so it must be for you, Alexandra. Cool indifference to the staring crowds along the bank. And the song? Never. " What do you think?

@mommylizyu Princess Diana wouldnt come anywhere near Grace.

Your daughter, like her mum, is clearly a young lady of taste;-)

[mommylizyu]

Okay! That is why I hardly watch any (new) Hollywood movies, nowadays. Even my 17-year old daughter loves this movie!

[SeriousError]

Thanks mommylizyu. Grace is not only in her own class, she defines the very meaning of the word. aaaah, I'm in love:-)
