Synopsis:
Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra break elegantly through the scenic, moneyed grounds and waters of outwardly elitist Newport, Rhode Island, in this hip, witty musical version of Philip Barry's The Philadelphia Story. Legendary Louis Armstrong as himself, plays his trumpet and narrates in prose and song the peccadilloes of his songwriter friend CK Dexter Haven (Crosby), his beautiful perfectionist ex-wife Tracy Samantha Lord (Kelly, in her final film role), and her stuffy fiancee George Kittredge (John Lund). Sinatra and wise-cracking Celeste Holm are a scandal sheet reporter and photographer who arrive to cover the wedding and complicate the tangled romances. Armstrong and his composer buddy conspire musically and by other devious means to stop Tracy's marriage. Dexter wants her back, but she takes off with the magazine writer -- all of whom gives everyone wonderful excuses to break into the incomparable songs of Cole Porter. MGM pulled out all the stops to make High Society a must-see screen event back in 1956, even arranging to license Paramount's magnificent widescreen VistaVision process, to ensure the film would be something special. Now meticulously restored and remastered in 4K UHD HDR and Dolby Vision from its original VistaVision negative, and accompanied by a thrilling new Dolby Atmos remixed soundtrack, High Society looks and sounds better than ever before!
