It may be the only movie where I'm actually a bit ambilivent about Cary Grant getting the girl.<br /><br />As for the remake, I have not such disappointment regarding Frank Sinatra (Stewart) and Grace Kelly (Hepburn). Thanks in part to "Who Want's to be a Millionaire", I was happy Sinatra and Celeste Holm reconcile in the end.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-54359831395893108932012-07-26T07:30:39.324-07:002012-07-26T07:30:39.324-07:00That is a great moment.

Maybe rock seemed more like an offshoot of jazz in 1956, instead of a competing musical form.<br /><br />I also like the scene where Bing and Frank sing, "Well, Did Ya Evah?"Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-20783375954495772012-07-25T12:51:13.342-07:002012-07-25T12:51:13.342-07:00Yes, I did but I didn't use any of the music f...Yes, I did but I didn't use any of the music from this great film. My favorite piece was Bing and Louis Armstrong. I have both High Society and The Philadelphia Story on The old 12 laser disc format, Unfortunately my disc player is no longer working.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533184345345882921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-51978885712406178332012-07-24T07:20:02.950-07:002012-07-24T07:20:02.950-07:00Cole Porter composed the music for HIGH SOCIETY, M...Cole Porter composed the music for HIGH SOCIETY, Mike.
