Bing Crosby's performance is what makes this movie worthwhile. I never knew Crosby had acting skills of such high calibre until seeing this movie. William Holden was good too, however, I would rather have seen someone else casted rather than Grace Kelly. Her performance does not measure up to that of her co-stars. Was her performance really Oscar worthy... I don't think so. In fact, I find her performance to detract from the movie, causing me to rate it a 8/10 rather than 10/10.
