Beautiful people with style and class, and last but not least acting abilities

[@SRSM198]

Marisa Pavan was the twin sister of Pier Angeli, she was a good actress who had a film role in "The Rose Tatoo" if I remember rightly

[@lynnturman8157]

Thanks for posting this. I would buy ALL the old Oscar shows if I could. Who wants to see Seth McFarland, Hugh Jackman, & Jennifer Lawrence when they can see Grace Kelly, Jack Lemmon, & Ernest Borgnine?

[@Aidooosh]

Old Hollywood glamour.... there's nothing like it! :) thanks for this clip!

[@tarnsand]

What a treat to watch as always. Thanks dear sweet Luke! I loved how truly thrilled Grace Kelly was that Ernie Borgnine won for Best Actor. Dean and Jeannie Martin what a gorgeous couple! Back when Academy Award Night was filled with natural beauty extraordinary talented entertainers. A night filled with the highest fashion grace and star quality class. Not full of 20 minute self promoting/political acceptance speeches tasteless obnoxious jokes appalling writing for host and presenters. Oh for the good ol' days when........

[@soapbxprod]

Well HEY Tarn! How's it all? Great to hear from you again. Thanks for your comments as always, Luke

[@sciknm]

Is it just me or does this clip suddenly become absolutely magical the moment Grace Kelly appears? :)

[@soapbxprod]

Thanks for tuning in and commenting- I'm more of a Susan Hayward kinda guy, but GRACE was GRACE! :) Luke Sacher Praeses & Soapbox Productions Inc.

[@emmashoesmith576]

And Audrey too..just as magical Audrey and Grace now and always class personified!

[@johnosullivancalsmso9462]

Grace Kelly had the most beautiful smile imaginable!

[@TheKristobald]

Wow, this is one party I would have like to attend to ! Such great, great people- specially Audrey Hepburn and Jack Lemmon. Bless you for sharing this :-) !

[@hollywoodmafia4841]

such a classy & glamorous time to be in Hollywood, I love it. These were the real Movie Stars.

[@petulia67]

Thank you for the great little time capsule.

[@SRSM198]

Gloriously beautiful Grace Kelly #

[@gerryracer]

Thanks Luke. What a great selection for BEST PICTURE. But I had to agree "MARTY" was such a terrific film, and deserved to win.

[@tallpaul521]

When the Oscars had CLASS!

[@CDU916]

Wow! No matter who the camera caught, everyone exuded class. Including the children! No women wearing underwear as evening gowns, nor men proudly boasting their five o clock shadows. If only we could return to these memorable days.

[@Rinaselves]

why cant u people ever just love old things without bashing the new it isn't that hard really

[@Worldwide170]

And you're so understing too, much more than me! Thanks for the way you get me. Yeah Grace Kelly is really my greatest passion. I just love the magnificent person she was. And no question Grace was the fairest of them all!

[@siempremarisol]

susan and kim novak omg they were beautiful

[@dantanasgirl]

Thanks Soupbxprod! I will be posting this on VLA on Sunday!

[@anneliesesteden390]

I’m enjoying this!🇨🇦🌺👏

[@acastrohowell]

Loved it 😍

[@gerryracer]

"Oh, were that we could". I would wear a tux made by Sy, and use Dax on my hair ( again) and there would be women who wore classy evening gowns, and supper clubs where people would just enjoy being together, listening to The Ray Anthony band, and.........................but, sadly Luke it is all way, way back in the smokey mists of time, when Bogey and Bacall brought a kind of magic to that big silver screen..........

[@ceciliapolisena5819]

Sorry...it makes me so terribly SAD to think that this should have been James Dean's first Academy Award big night...

[@soapbxprod]

Thank you for watching, Cecilia- we do appreciate your patronage and your positive comments. We have lots and lots of other Classic Hollywood uploads- please take a look- I'm sure that you will enjoy them. Regards, Luke Sacher Praeses & Soapbox Productions Inc.

[@soapbxprod]

Great in everything! From McHale's Navy to Bad Day at Black Rock... a true WORKING ACTOR! :)

[@TheCedddy]

that's the way it should be, NONE OF THAT {WHO YOU WEARING}......AND LONG ASS SPEECHES..THANKING THIS PERSON AND THAT PERSON....TRUE HOLLYWOOD STARS OF YESTER YEARS....

[@soapbxprod]

Thanks, cedric- glad that you enjoyed the footage... so refreshing, huh? Once upon a time, as my "auntie" Janet Leigh said, "There Really Was A Hollywood"... Warmest Regards, Luke Sacher Praeses & Soapbox Productions Inc.

[@Worldwide170]

I don't forget anything about Grace Kelly. Who can forget the nicest Lady ever? We don't have to forget Grace Kelly is one of the 8 women most celebrated and most famous of the Century. Maybe The Country Girl is not an excellent movie, but nobody can't deny the very talentes actress Grace Kelly was. Is she talented? The Proof is given by the fact Grace is still the greatest Princess of the History.The most regal one. Unfortunately she didn't have enough time to show Her greatness at acting.

[@robertnylund3859]

It is wonderful to see Grace Kelly, with Jerry Lewis, in the year she finally retired from movies to marry a real prince.

[@soapbxprod]

+Robert Nylund Thanks very much for tuning in- we have lots and lots of classic Hollywood clips on our uploads page!

[@SuicideboysGrey59]

I see Audrey, I click. ❤️

[@patricebest545]

The act did improve JL When DM left you Love Susan Hayward

[@LaoSoftware]

Those dresses are elegant and beautiful. Very respectful to wear in public.

[@davidkublin4446]

I have seen Marty 30x..........fav movie

[@tarnsand]

Mine too David. Ernie Borgnine the every day man with so much natural talent and a helluva guy! Have you seen his videos when he and his son toured America in his motor home? Stopping to visit with farmers harvesting buying ice cream in a little town one evening an Italian restaurant... great stuff:)

[@soapbxprod]

Tarn Sand Ernie rules. :)

[@tallpaul521]

What a great man -- Ernest Borgnine for "Marty" -- same age as my father.

[@brunamelissarodrigues]

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the opening? I just loved it! Everyone was so beautiful, such class and elegance. ❤️

[@soapbxprod]

It's an original adaptation of Count Basie's "What Am I Here For?"- from the April in Paris album. Buy it! You will love it!

[@brunamelissarodrigues]

@@soapbxprod Thank you so much for responding and for sharing this wonderful video with us! ❤️😊

[@gerryracer]

I agree "Bad Day At Black Rock" a superb film. "Marty", I saw it in a small local theatre here in Birmingham ( Th original one, in the Midlands ha,ha ) and thought it such an ordinary story, so lovingly told, and quite honestly I was so suprised when it won! But, as I said the others up for an award were also very good. Spencer Tracey....brilliant! Thanks.

[@siempremarisol]

Anna Magnani won ,she was great,marisa pavan still alive today

[@karenssimoess]

Jerry Lewis was so gorgeous *-*

[@soapbxprod]

Nerak S. The best! we produced his biography for A&E in 1996. It was truly the best 18 months I ever spent working. Locked in an editing room with nothing but JERRY and DEAN! :) Here's the bio if you want to see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4ekYmaoZpKAjK8 Luke Sacher Praeses & Soapbox Productions Inc.

[@karenssimoess]

***** I 've watched his biography. You did a good job Luke Sacher. Congratulations!! :) You're a very lucky guy. God bless you.

[@soapbxprod]

Nerak S. Thank you, Nerak- that is a very kind thing to say! And God bless you and yours! :)

[@Worldwide170]

Ava Gardner you mean? She was Gorgeous: a very difficult choise between Ava and Elizabeth Taylor: Maybe this last one was helped by her violet coloured eyes, but Ava was Stunning. Her dashes were so divine. And her smile was a triumph. After all Ava was one of Princess Grace's best friends and the most beautiful guest on Grace Kelly's wedding to Prince Rainier. Hope getting your words in the right way. Otherwise I apologize myself with you.

[@brahimbenhida6063]

[@Dajana1962]

Grace married Rainier of Monaco on April 18 same year... not even one month later.

[@lindashelley3635]

@3.18 "I'm very very happy with Dean, everything is wonderful" Oh dear, scroll forward 4 months...

[@patriziaulto8319]

In Memory of James Dean 😭😭😭😭posthumed Oskar award

[@noirpoetix1]

the inside of the Pantages hasn't changed a bit from what I can see.

[@soapbxprod]

Dear Henry- sorry but nothing much! Only about three seconds of her and Mel Ferrer in the audience at the SHARE show in Santa Monica... but I do have George Axelrod, the writer of Paris When It Sizzles, with Kirk Douglas at Roddy McDowall's beach house on Malibu in the summer of 65... thank you for watching and for your civil polite question!

[@Worldwide170]

You know i think Princess Grace was born that way. Non one can take a candle to her. DIVINA, NOT ONLY GORGEOUSS, BUT THE GODDESS gRACE AND A gODDESS CAN NEVER DYE

[@soapbxprod]

No one ever came close... except for Natalie Wood! :) Thanks for tuning in!

[@RGT4285]

Grace Kelly ❤

[@henryw6167]

You don't have any more footage of Audrey Hepburn in your marvellous collection do you? :)

[@SRSM198]

Jack Lemon is truly missed

[@jimmyb1559]

When Oscar stood for something.

[@Worldwide170]

Everybody's eyes were focused on Grace Kelly the Stunning Glamorous Diva who was about to become Princess Grace of Monaco. She blows them off. No one can be compared to Grace, the most beautiful and classiest woman ever! She rules Fashion World. Still. Grace Kelly Greatest Diva Grace of Monaco Greatest and most Regal Princess of the History Grace Kelly through her style, class, elegance and beauty is the Graetest Style Icon ever! The personification of grace just like her very name!

[@Worldwide170]

Do you really mean that? To the most, Grace Kelly's features are the most perfect ones. She's the epitome of beauty, the personification of grace, a special virtue most people lacks. Anyhow in 1954 lovely Audrey Hepburn won an Oscar, an year after Grace's Oscar, Anna Magnani just gor her one. Noboby complains about it. I don't think Audrey Hepburn , Liz Taylor or Sophia Loren were a way more talented then Grace was. If I just have to say a name besides Grace I choose Ingrid Bergman!

[@jessewolf6806]

More talent in the 5 nominees for best actor 1956 than anything since...1956?

[@Worldwide170]

Excuse me for my being so spontaneous! You can forget what you like most.

[@Worldwide170]

I think it should have been great, being able watching Princess Grace Of Monaco returning playing in the clothes of the former Grace Kelly. A superior Skillness, a new way of facing the camera, a more deepper style and so forth.

[@gerryracer]

They had Class, they had Style, they were what I would call STARS, today, well, OK so I'm a dinosaur, but they are mere shadows of these people. Today it seems to me anyway, that the stars are the generators of Computer Graphics, and to sell a film on the name of a well known actor, only to find it's his voice that has been added to a CG image...nah, not for me.

[@DougJrFan93]

Jerry Lewis and Jack Lemmon...the two men I love!

[@TheSusiehay]

Such great stars. Susan Hayward looked so beautiful with her sons Tim and Greg. It's such a shame Susan did not win the Best Actress Oscar for "I'll Cry Tomorrow" The Academy really screwed up here. Susan well deserved this Award.

[@siempremarisol]

susan look subllime as well kim novak

[@Aidooosh]

Also can someone tell me what Jerry was doing on stage?? :D

[@Worldwide170]

Excuse me, but yesterday night the way I wrote in english was only a full mistake. I just wanna have a look at what you suggested me. Once, so long ago I heard about Rat Pack: Did Bing Crosby was a member, aside great Frank Sinatra? Anyhow I didn't think Judy Garand was as great at singing as Edith Piaf was. You know " La Vie en Rose" is worldwide known, I don't think " Over the rainbow" is just as famous as the song I said earlier, even though Judy's voice is a miracle. Nobody forfeits her

[@Worldwide170]

Just to finish, I can't get all this fierceness towards her victory over Judy Garland. I repeat: Judy was astonishing as an actress. In that year she made a great movie, but her performance was superior than the film itself. The prize was given to Grace by a jury so Grace Kelly is not to blame. She deserved the Oscar. Totally. And every insult of this kind ought to cease. After all Grace passed away 30 years ago, so I think it's shameful forfeiting a special human being like Grace Kelly.

[@miltsar]

@soapbxprod If you include Lee Wiley and Johnny Hartman I'll join you and gerrracer on the flight to Jurassic Park. I can hear the in flight music now. Basie and Williams doing The Comeback and Every Day, Lee Wiley's Night In Manhattan and Hartman and Coltrane. We'd be sipping very chilled martinis...not a bumpy flight at all !

[@Worldwide170]

What do you mean " NUFF SAID" ?

[@madnessintomagic]

Enough Marilyn and Audrey… Yvonne Strahovsky (sp) absolutely needs to play Grace Kelly in a movie. Look at her teeth and smile. And it would be nice to see Yvonne not playing evil, for a minute. 😅

[@Worldwide170]

Yes of course Grace was a very great actress, actually she made hardly 10 movies in just 5 years of career. And her success was worldwide, unique. Hitchcock used to say: Just give her some more time, and Grace will be the greatest actress ever! If she had kept on with cinema, no question she would have been the number one ever. I'm sorry she retired at the peak of her career. What a pity she couldn't make Marnie. It should have been a further way to show her talented way of acting.

[@lindashelley3635]

Worldwide170 But she did retire from show business to become a real-life princess.. Not a bad career change 👰👑

[@Worldwide170]

Do you think Judy was much better than Liza at singing?
