Directed by George Seaton.
In a flourish of off-casting, director George Seaton assigned popular stars Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly to uncommonly earthy dramatic roles in this moving saga of a broken-down actor and his stalwart wife, rebuilding their lives after a tragedy. Costuming bespeaks the characters’ journey from despair to hope, with Kelly in particular brightening in both dress and spirit as the story progresses.
