State of Grace

Yesterday I mentioned the fact that recently I saw a Cary Grant movie for the first time. That particular film - To Catch A Thief - also marked the first time I watched a Grace Kelly movie.

Being that I'm a movie geek and book geek, you will not be surprised to learn that prior to this viewing I'd read any number of sentences containing the words "beautiful" and "Grace Kelly." Still reading about the beautiful Grace Kelly and seeing the beautiful Grace Kelly are two entirely different things. Watching her on screen for the first time, I experienced one of those punched-in-the-stomach moments, where the air vanishes from your lungs because you're stunned by what your'e seeing. Beauty with a physical impact.
