...polo coat, leading a small black poodle on a leash, emerges from one of Manhattan's cliff houses on East 66th Street. The doorman gives her a cheery "Good Morning, Miss Kelly." But outside, no head turns. For in her low-heeled shoes and horn-rimmed spectacles, Actress Grace Kelly is all but indistinguishable from any other well-scrubbed young woman of the station-wagon set, armored in good manners, a cool expression, and the secure knowledge that whatever happens, Daddy...
...angry when she thinks about it. She went to her agent, says Perlberg, and told him: "If I can't do this picture, I'll get on the train and never come back. I'll quit the picture business.

Miss Shentall, being only five years off the mark herself, has turned the actress' bugaboo of Juliet's age (not quite 14) splendidly to her advantage. With quiet restraint she portrays the childish but profound love of a young girl with a bridge of freckles across her nose, who has come to womanhood just a little sooner than she ought. Since this is her first major theatrical role, much credit is no doubt due Mr. Castellani's direction, for it is her part which holds the picture together...
