Six years later, with her marriage in serious difficulty, Alfred Hitchcock offers her the chance to return to Hollywood to play the role of Marnie in his next film. But France is also threatening to annex Monaco, the tiny principality where she became the princess. Grace is torn and forced to choose between the creative flame that still burns within her and her role as Her Serene Highness, Princess of Monaco.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"features\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<table id=\"review-content\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>This release comes with a glossy <strong>slip cover<\/strong> and nothing else.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 1px solid #808080;\" title=\"Grace of Monaco\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Q4bA7cC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<table id=\"review-content\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5 | AUDIO \u2014 3.5\/5<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Grace of Monaco<\/em><\/strong> arrives on DVD presented with a 2.35 widescreen anamorphic transfer and has the standard but effective Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><br \/>\n<a name=\"overall\"><\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 1px solid #808080;\" title=\"Grace of Monaco\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/PoQsThk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><\/p>\n<table id=\"review-content\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>OVERALL \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, <strong><em>Grace of Monaco<\/em><\/strong> might\u2019ve been well meaning and the production and costume designs are well done and the performance by Nicole Kidman wasn\u2019t bad but it\u2019s easy to see why it failed to go to theaters and instead aired on Lifetime instead.
