If you've never seen The Philadelphia Story (the original non-musical film) then please, see that first. Or better yet, see it instead. You just might hate this in comparison. None of the actors in High Society are on the level of Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, and Cary Grant. The direction is sadly, to set the camera in one place and let everything wander into frame (and not in an artsy way). Some of the songs are good, though. Louis Armstrong is a treat.

The things that work well work better in The Philadelphia Story, and the songs aren't particularly memorable. The chemistry between characters is not as strong. Still a fun watch overall, but it doesn't really bring much new to the table.

actually, i was fairly impressed by this movie, sinatra and crosby are charming. grace kelly's character was fairly annoying, but that's countered by armstrong and a tight script. the music here is awesome.

This film is anthologic!How about a musical with songs of cole porter and interpratation by louis armstrong and bing crosby?And also with the beauty of the princess grace kely.

truly ghastly. bottom 5 musical.

A great film for people of a certain age - for everyone else it may seem rather flat. Sinatra, Kelly and Crosby carry the scenes in which they appear although there isn't enough Louis Armstrong for my taste. Will appeal to the older generation but if you're after a nostalgia trip this could be an ideal film to catch.

This is okay, I guess. Rather uninspired, though. No one's heart seems to be fully in it. The sets and colors are nice, but the direction is flat. The acting is decent, but again, uninspired. Basically it needed more Louis Armstrong.

Man, the casting directors seriously lucked out. Too bad I'm not a big fan of Crosby or Sinatra.

Pleasant enough, but doesn't have the spark that makes Philadelphia Story a great movie.
