The Swan is a remake of a 1925 film, both based on a Hungarian play by Ferenc Molnár. The film was shot on location at the Biltmore Estate of George W. Vanderbilt in Asheville, North Carolina.
Starring: Grace Kelly, Alec Guinness and Louis Jourdan with Agnes Moorehead, Jessie Royce Landis, Brian Aherne, Leo G. Carroll, Estelle Winwood and Robert Coote.Plot: Princess Beatrice's days of enjoying the regal life are numbered unless her only daughter, Princess Alexandra, makes a good impression on a distant cousin when he pays a surprise visit to their palace. Prince Albert has searched all over Europe for a bride and he's bored by the whole courtship routine. He is more interested in the estate's dairy than Alexandra's rose garden. And then he starts playing football with the tutor and Alexandra's brothers. Invite the tutor to the ball that night and watch how gracefully
Alexandra dances with him. [IMDb]I noticed this film since I admired its Edwardian costumes listed for sale in the upcoming auction.
