How anyone, in their right mind, could possibly equate these two woman on the same level is beyond me! Iconic? Powerful? Grace Kelly - most definitely! Markle? Not likely!
Grace Kelly was the epitome of class, elegance & talent! She was well known for her generosity toward those she worked with. She was a champion to Monaco, & the many charities she created & supported!
Who was Markle? Few people even knew who she was before she was engaged to Harry!
To compare these two together is an insult to Grace Kelly's memory!
If I could have given this 0 stars - I would have!
What a travesty! If you have any admiration for Grace Kelly, miss this piece of propaganda. You'll be glad you did!

I'm sure, reading the other reviews, you already know the gist of the story! BUT, what I loved about it was the actors and acting! A nice, fanciful tale blending the talent of a young Margret O'Brien, with seasoned actors Arnold, Barrymore, Stone & Mitchell! Just a pleasure to watch, but a bit sad to know movies like this are not being made anymore, because everyone (i.e. The new audience) seems so entrenched in "reality"! If you want a nice family film, or even a "date" film you won't be embarrassed to take your new special someone to, this is it! You won't be disappointed! What talented people these actors were. How Margret O'Brien, in particular, remembered all her lines just amazes me!
I'll admit - I only watched the trailer, but that was enough for me! I'm not one for remakes - especially when the originals can't be beat! The 1950 version, with Clifton Webb, Myrna Loy and Jeanne Craine, was wonderful! AND it's based on a TRUE story, and follows the book! The remakes with Steve Martin (who I do like) and now Braff & Union, can't compare with the pure, entertaining plot of the original. There's nothing like real life! When will Hollywood (and Disney) learn?
