To celebrate and share this musical love, here is my weekly feature about musicals. This week’s musical: High Society (1956) – read more

Frank, Bing, and Grace are sensational in... High Society (1956)

Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Nov 9, 2016

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of High Society is probably its predecessor, The Philadelphia Story.

Music in the High Society of The Philadelphia Story

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 11, 2015

Remakes are, in general. something peopled tend to avoid, because the concept itself doesn’t really have a good reputation. However, there are some exceptions. Sometimes, the remake can be as good as the original film, sometimes it can even be better! Well, that’s all a matter of tastes read more

Cinematic Shorts: High Society

MacGuffin Movies Posted by RBuccicone on Oct 29, 2010

High Society (1956)      I have always considered myself a fan of musicals, but in recent years I have discovered I am a bit choosy on that front. For instance, I cannot stand The Sound of Music or South Pacific and was fairly bored with The King and I. If Kathryn Grayson is singing in a picture, read more
