This is Alec Guinness's best romantic movie. "The Swan" is about two guys in love with a princess. Prince Albert (Alec Guinness) battles with the tutor (Louis Jourdan) for Princess Alexandra's (Grace Kelly) affections. All three are beautiful and perfect in their roles.
The supporting cast is great and the movie looks beautiful in color. It is a lovely story that will always put you in a good mood. You get the feeling the cast liked each other. This was Princess Grace's final movie before she married Prince Rainier. What is nice, is that Princess Grace kept her friendship with Mr. Guinness until the end of her life.
