Additional InformationPorter adds the tunes and Sinatra adds the ring-a-ding to this swinging musical remake of The Philadelphia Story. A prim socialite (Kelly in her last role before becoming Her Serene Highness) finds herself in a the middle of a comic mess when her ex-husband (Crosby) and an amorous reporter (Sinatra) come to cover the preparations for her upcoming wedding. Adding to the tension is her skirt-chasing father, who's also returned home for the ceremony. The resulting confusion--and several potent drinks--melt the ice princess's frosty exterior. It isn't long before she sees through her society-climbing fiancee, and warms up again to her crooning jazz musician ex-husband. Rare chance to see rivals Crosby and Sinatra together. Includes such hit numbers as 'True Love', 'You're Sensational', and 'Did You Evah'. The film garnered three Academy Award Nominations including Best Motion Picture Story.

    Saw this on release in 1956 in London, it was fab then and it is still fabulous, with superb cast of Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Satchmo, et al. how could it not be a winner, the music and songs beautifully presented, absolutely fantastic, who wants to be a millionaire? With this movie I am.
