Not great
Does anyone want to hear Grace Kelly talking without her incredibly irritating accent? With all the live television plays she made before she switched to feature films, I was only able to get my hands on one of them. In The Rockingham Tea Set, she had a normal speaking voice! I was shocked, and while the tv play from "Studio One in Hollywood" wasn't good, it was amusing to see and hear.
Grace stars as a nurse who gets hired to care for an invalid woman, Louise Allbritton. Louise was in a car accident with her fiancé, Richard McMurray, and has been paralyzed ever since. Richard is devoted out of guilt, but when he starts to see her treat her new nurse with mean, passive-aggressive arguments, he starts to rethink their relationship. Yes, it's shades of things to come: Grace Kelly stealing someone else's man.
If you watch this tv movie on YouTube, it won't be to see some great acting. It's as if a group of high schoolers were auditioning and it was taped so you'd understand why they didn't get cast. It won't be to get engrossed in an interesting story, since it's predictable and simple. It's just to see Grace Kelly before she was famous. If you're not a fan, you can skip it.
