High Society (1956)

Although of course this could never measure up to the brilliance that was Philadelphia Story, it's not at all bad as a remake. It takes a lot of the depth of the original and condenses it, making it less interesting but easier for an evening of mild entertainment. The three leads all do a very good job. Cole Porter's never been my favorite musical theater composer, but the songs here are fun (if entirely forgettable). Overall, not a bad flick, although nothing terribly memorable. 3.5 stars.
