GRACE KELLY , ALEC GUINNESS & ROBERT COOTE ( ♣ I sell copies ONLY under request ♣ ) A genuine Vintage Photograph from METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER PICTURES "THE SWAN" - 1956 Candid: A moment between Scenes receiving mints from Coote . Size of the Photograph: 8 x 1 0 inches (aprox.) ♣ Date: 19 56 ♣ Condition of the Photograph: VERY GOOD ( Small Marks and Folds at the corners and the edges, as you can see) This is stamped at the backside of the photograph This is not a Reproduction or a current copy is Real Vintage. This photograph, like many others, comes from an Argentinean Newspaper collection I bought some years ago. THE SWAN: Grace Kelly - Princess Alexandra Alec Guinness - Prince Albert Louis Jourdan - Dr. Nicholas Agi Frances Howard starred as Princess Alexandria in the 1925 silent version of Ferenc Molnar's play The Swan; Lillian Gish assumed the role in the 1930 talkie version. The third and final adaptation starred Grace Kelly, who had one slight advantage over her predecessors; she would soon become a real princess instead of a make-believe one. And don't think that MGM, knowing full well that Grace would retire from moviemaking upon ascending the throne of Monaco, didn't carefully select the timeworn Molnar play for the express purpose of extra publicity. Outside of its mercenary considerations, The Swan is an enjoyable bittersweet tale of a princess who falls in love with her handsome tutor (Louis Jourdan), only to be required to give him up in favor of an arranged marriage of state. The nicest element of the story is that the prince to whom Kelly is engaged, as played by Alec Guinness, is a decent sort, who voluntarily asks for the princess' hand instead of forcing the issue. Of course, the issue has been forced upon him when he realizes the depth of the love Kelly harbors for her tutor. It may well be that this version of The Swan will be the last; on the other hand, who'd a' thunk that someone would want to make Sabrina again in 1995?
