A Hollywood Classic Gets the 4K Treatment
Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Charles Walters, HIGH SOCIETY is based on Philip Barry’s play The Philadelphia Story, which had previously been adapted for the screen in 1940.
This 1956 musical version brings together three legendary Hollywood performers: Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra, creating one of the most memorable ensembles of the era.
The new 4K presentation takes advantage of the movie’s original VistaVision photography, allowing the lavish production design, costumes and performances to shine with greater clarity and detail.
The film’s celebrated musical score is another major highlight. With songs from the incomparable Cole Porter, HIGH SOCIETY combines romance, comedy and unforgettable music into a quintessential Hollywood musical experience.
What Is HIGH SOCIETY About?
At the centre of the story is wealthy socialite Tracy Lord (Grace Kelly), who is preparing to walk down the aisle and marry again.
However, her former husband, C. K. Dexter-Haven (Bing Crosby), isn’t quite ready to let her go.
With the help of reporter Mike Connor (Frank Sinatra), Dexter has just 48 hours to convince Tracy that she still loves him. What follows is a romantic battle filled with complicated relationships, witty exchanges, musical numbers and the kind of glamorous chaos that made classic Hollywood so entertaining.
As Tracy’s wedding approaches, old feelings begin to resurface, leaving her to reconsider exactly what — and who — she really wants.
The HIGH SOCIETY Cast
The film features an extraordinary collection of classic Hollywood talent:
- Bing Crosby as C. K. Dexter-Haven
- Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord
- Frank Sinatra as Mike Connor
- Celeste Holm as Liz Imbrie
