Synopses for High Society (1956)
1.
Porter 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." Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Motion Picture Story.

Childhood friends (Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby) got married and separated pretty soon. Both are from wealthy families. Now Grace is going to get married again to a shrewd businessman. Bing still loves her. Grace has a nosy litle sister who interferes and tries to correct Grace's life. Grace's father is a playboy. The 'Spy' magazine blackmail's Grace's family by threatening to reveal the father's exploits if not allowed to cover the wedding. The movie portrays the lifestyles of the rich with a good dose of humour and jazz (Louis Armstrong's band).
