In the frothy romantic comedy, "The Swan", Grace Kelly provides us with an almost eerie foretelling of her real-life fairy-tale engagement and marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco. The movie concerns the shy Princess Alexandra's (Grace) attempts to woo and win the down-to-earth Crown Prince (Alec Guinness) of a fictional Central European nation. In the key ballroom scene (where Grace dances for a good long time with her other male costar, Louis Jourdan), she wears lovely white kid gloves of almost shoulder length under a white lace shawl.
