Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Country Girl is a 1954 film directed by George Seaton, starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and William Holden.Frank Elgin (Crosby) was once a famous singer and entertainer, but has long since fallen on hard times, and is now an alcoholic has-been. Theater director Bernie Dodd (Holden) auditions Frank for a part in his new play, This Land of Ours, and decides that this is an appropriate comeback vehicle for Frank. Bernie finds out how far Frank has fallen when he tracks Frank down to his shabby one-room apartment, where Frank is living in melancholy desperation with his wife Georgie (Kelly).Georgie and Frank's marriage has suffered greatly since their son was killed in a traffic accident. Georgie is determined to stand by Frank, but she is completely honest about his alcoholism and generally fragile state, and believes that she must stay by him during the production to get him on the straight and narrow. Bernie, for his part, believes that Georgie's hovering is having the opposite effect, undercutting Frank's confidence and making it harder for him to stay on the wagon and focused on his role. The situation is further complicated when Bernie and Georgie start falling in love.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The Country Girl was a case of Playing Against Type for both Crosby, who usually starred in musicals and light comedies, and Kelly, who usually played glamour queens. Kelly won an Oscar for Best Actress. | |
