00:011954 stands as a defining year in Grace Kelly's brief but spectacular run in Hollywood.
00:08In addition to Green Fire, Kelly starred in two top-tier Alfred Hitchcock films,
00:14Dial M for Murder and Rear Window, as well as The Bridges at Toko Rhee and The Country Girl.
00:20That last film, The Country Girl, won Grace Kelly the Best Actress Academy Award.
00:25It was a pretty big upset.
00:26That Judy Garland for A Star Is Born was widely considered the favorite.
00:31Trying to describe her frantic schedule getting all those movies made in such a short time,
00:36Kelly said she finished shooting Green Fire one morning at 11.
00:40Then by one that afternoon, she was in a studio dubbing some of her lines for a different movie.
00:46And at 6 that night, she was on a flight to France to make another film for Hitchcock,
00:51her third Hitchcock film in two years.
00:53That movie would be To Catch a Thief, released in 1955.
00:57As for Kelly's co-star, Stuart Granger, he continued as MGM's answer to Errol Flynn
01:02playing romantic adventurers or swashbuckling swordsmen in Hollywood epics and later in international films.
01:09Granger played his last safari guide in a 1967 film titled, appropriately, The Last Safari.
01:17Stuart Granger died in 1993 in Los Angeles at the age of eight.
01:22Coming up, the 1950 adventure film that made Stuart Granger already a big name in Britain,
01:28a star in Hollywood.
01:29He co-stars with Deborah Carr in King Solomon's Minds, next on TCM.
01:36Next on TCM, King Solomon's Minds.
01:40Then a silent Sunday of City Symphonies.
01:44And later, The Coward.
01:46Don't be afraid of subtitles tonight.
01:48Think about it.
01:49Good night.
