Three stellar performers at the peak of their screen careers join forces in this riveting film adaptation of writer Clifford Odets` acclaimed play. Bing Crosby (White Christmas) is Frank Elgin, an alcoholic, guilt-ridden former musical star desperate to make a comeback. William Holden (Sunset Boulevard) is the hotshot Broadway director in need of a "name" star for his new stage production. And Grace Kelly (Rear Window) is The Country Girl-Frank`s long-suffering wife, who`s both weary of her husband`s weaknesses and wary of Holden`s motives. Nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture of the Year, writer/director George Seaton`s acclaimed drama earned Kelly an Oscar for her performance as well as one for Seaton`s spellbinding screenplay.
