Great to have a break from R content. Toolman Tim Top Contributor: Pets. It's own niche! Really liked this movie.

It reminded me in part of Walt Disney's The Happiest Millionaire, but more of an adult version, but a innocent fun playful version from another era in time -- made me feel like I was watching a dream and in a time when life was safer and simpler.

I loved the playful adult love and pursuit and when men were bold men and went for the women like men. And the women had a grace and class about them -- though today's culture says the women were too much of women -- I disagree.

The women had a grace and class about them that was just beautiful. Even the mother who had been mistreated, even with her broken spirit in the movie -- the young strength of her daughters fighting for their mother was really special -- as they did it was class and grace.

Bing and Frank were great in this movie, really played the roles perfect. There were scenes when I really laughed as they were unlike anything I have ever seen.

They really don't make movies like this anymore and it isn't even that the times have changed, it is much more there just are no actors like these actors today.

They were very talented and they had a really special view of the world that I think helped them carry that to the screen. Hard to explain what the movie was like, but I don't find I enjoy many old movies.

High Society is a U. Pros: 1. If you like Bing Crosby's singing, then your in luck with this film, especially when he sings "True Love" 2.

Overall a fun film Cons: 1. A rather corny film with mediocre acting. I enjoyed this film mostly because of the musical scenes where Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra sing, and Louis Armstrong plays incredible jazz music.

The story is almost the same, except that High Society has lots of popular music, the main character is a jazz musician, and Sinatra represents a tabloid instead of a newspaper.

I have never liked the Philadelphia Story, so my feelings for the story here don't change. I only watch this for its musical numbers, and watching Crosby pairing with Armstrong to delightful songs by Cole Porter is worth a treat.

But here you have most of the story and Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and best of all Louie Armstrong, and tagging along is his band.

Put Grace Kelly in with 3 men chasing her, you have a musical on a grand scale. Grace is having a party celebration at her Mom's mansion for a pre wedding to John Lund.

SDhowing up at the celebration is Crosby who was her ex-husband and who is still in love with Grace. In addition, to get a story for their magazine, Frank Sinatra and Celese Holmes show up to interview how the rich live and ask incisive questions to Grace.

There is great music in this movie, plus comedy. With Sinatra and Crosby you get great singing of great Cole Porter songs. Interworven into the story is the timeless song with Crosby and Kelly singing, "True Love".

Sinatra and Crosby sing a song together which is a real treat by the two crooners. Among the highlights of this movie is a great jazz performce with Armstrong and his band, accompanied with Crosby and his singing.
