Wedding in Monaco, The (1956)
** (out of 4)
Promotional short showing the wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco. We get to see how everything was set up, the beautiful ship, the beautiful countryside and various other beautiful things. I was scratching my head throughout this 33-minute documentary because they're trying to throw the spotlight on Kelly and Rainier yet they appear to just be showing how wonderful it is to be rich. Nothing here rings true while watching it and I must say that it almost seemed like people were staging all the action just to make sure it came off looking "perfect" for the camera. The narrator, unknown, is also almost overbearing as he keeps going on and on and on about how great everything thing. I'm sure fans of the beautiful Kelly will want to tune in but sadly she's not in the film enough to really warrant sitting through the entire thing. She's certainly more beautiful than anything else in the pic so the director would have been wise just keeping the camera on her.
