Unreleased Nicole Kidman Film ‘Princess Grace’ will air on LIFETIME Channel

21 May

We had spoken here at the blog about the big-budget film production ‘Princess Grace’ starring Nicole Kidman in the title role. It was shot at least two years ago but the producers decided against releasing it to theatres. It is scheduled to be telecast May 25, 2015 on the LIFETIME Channel, with many repeats. The rumors in Hollywood were that this extremely lavish film was a beautiful-looking bore. Now we may jusge for ourselves! See you at the movies Ralph Schiller

I saw it last year, RR, when it was released here Europe. I have to admit it was neither meat nor fish, as our saying goes. The royal family of Monaco snubbed the grand opening at the Cannes festival, because they feared what de facto was a marriage of convenience would be shown as such. I recently read that Onassis (the big stakeholder of the Monte Carlo Casino ) brokered the deal suggesting 4 blondes for a wive to Prince Rainier. They were Kim Novak, Deborah Kerr, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. Marilyn struck out because of her previous marriages, and later congratulated Grace that she had managed to escape that Hollwood hamsterwheel becoming a princess. Ranier and Kelly clicked and who is to judge if they really weren`t that happy couple later as tabloids reported. The film is a very tame review of these events. No need for fearing any revelations whatsoever. The scenery of course is a site to see, Mrs Kidman`s skin is so shiny as if it had never seen the Aussie sun, but Tim Roth is terribly miscast as stocky souveraign. A once fabulous rogue starring opposite Liam Neeson in that fine contemporary swashbuckler ROB ROY, is having a tough time miming a love sick prince, while steadfastly fending off Charles DeGaulle`s quest to take over the Principality. All in all a film like a glossy Magazine.

Grace and Rainier were a good match in the end. At the beginning though Kelly`s wealthy father was not so pleased. He was mocking the fact that he had to pay a two million Dollars entrance fee into an operetto state (rumor has it that Grace`s Ma was convinced that her daugther would end up princess in Morocco) and that his high-ness was anything but…

Where is the Errol Flynn connection in this posting? It’s quite a bit off topic :-)

O Dave, behave!
Don`t rush Ralph into jumpy references. The one connection plain to see is, that Errol`s marriage in Monaco may have served as blueprint for Prince Rainier`s.

Sounds like very unappetizing soup. What a disGrace.

I guess this means that Nicole is now out of the running for the role of Princess Olivia.
