HIGH SOCIETY
Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Louis Armstrong & Frank Sinatra
This musical remake of the screwball comedy, The Philadelphia Story (1940), tells the story of childhood friends Tracy Lord (Grace Kelly) and songwriter C.K. Dexter Haven (Bing Crosby), who got married and quickly divorced. Now Tracy is about to marry again, this time to a shrewd social-climbing businessman George Kitteredge (John Lund). However, Tracy’s ex-husband Dexter, has never stopped loving her and even now has hopes of winning her back. Two journalists, Mike Connor (Frank Sinatra) and Liz Imbrie (Celeste Holm), have arrived to cover the story, though Mike also falls for Tracy while covering the nuptials for Spy magazine. For this film, the story is reset from Philadelphia to Newport, Rhode Island to bring in the famous Jazz Festival. The movie portrays the lifestyles of the rich with a good dose of humor and jazz provided by Louis Armstrong and his band.
