MCT:August 7, 2008Musical remake of The Philadelphia Story with tunes by Cole Porter.
Great Bing & Frank duet. Louis Armstrong & His All-Stars. Entire cast is great. -

First movie I bought on DVD, I still watch it a lot...my favorite scene is Frank and Bing singing together

This is my second favorite movie of all time! I saw this movie before the Philadelphia Story so I am kind of afraid to watch that movie now
-
MCT:June 15, 2008Awesome who's who of artists, and one of a kind musical production. It was a good remake of the philidelphia story, but it couldnt match the awesome acting by great actors who made their parts their own.

One of my favorite musicals of all time. This may be a remake of the classic film, "Philadelphia Story", but I found it be overall more enjoyable and charming. I find Bing Crosby's character to be more fitting of the role and Grace Kelly is a thousand times more appealing than Katharine Hepburn, in my opinion. Add a Cole Porter score, some lively jazz numbers with the one and only Louis Armstrong, a duet featuring Bing & Frank and you have pure magic!

Oh Bing is a man who I adore. He could sing to me forever. And there's Frank and the gorgeous Grace Kelly.

Not as good as the 'Philadelphia Story' which it was based on, but Sinatra and particularly Crosby did a great job. Some good songs too.

MCT:May 7, 2008I thought this was great. I LOVE MUSICALS!! It's odd to say but listening to actors and actresses break into a song about almost everything feeling is awesome! I loved the songs. They're all great singers. These movies kind of remind me of how the classical musicals use to be and I really admire movies that do that. The reflects on the decade that they were in and what type of clothes they wore and the music they were interested in. I liked the classical instruments in the songs. I don't really know how to describe it but a happy feeling inside of me just came out and it made me feel happy when I watched it. It's a great old-fashioned film to watch.

MCT:March 30, 2008I was glad to see Grace Kelly in this movie, but this is nowhere near as good as Philadelphia Story.

Let's face it, Grace Kelly was a great actress but she was no Tracy Lord. The role did not suit her, even though I expected her to pull it off (after all, Grace Kelly was pure class). In fact, the movie did not bring out the best of any actors, which is a total downer, because they're amazing actors! I did enjoy the songs, especially Frank Sinatra's numbers, while Louis Armstrong put a smile on my face every time he was on screen. All in all, an easy second-rate film to The Philadelphia Story.

MCT:March 15, 2008I think I expected more from this movie than it could deliver. There are too many things about it that make it slightly disappointing for me.

I think I expected more from this movie than it could deliver. There are too many things about it that make it slightly disappointing for me. Let's start with the actors, Grace Kelly is far too young and inexperienced as an actress then to deliver the Katharine Hepburn "Goddess-like" Tracy Lord, although she is able to mimic the tone of Hepburn's voice in some sentences, it just doesn't really work on me. Bing Crosby is nothing like Cary Grant's C.K. Dexter Haven and even though I'm not much of a Grant fan, I even preferred him to Bing Crosby. And of course, Frank Sinatra is nothing compared to the ever so lovely Jimmy Stewart. And I couldn't really feel the chemistry between Grace and the two men. It seemed all too sudden when she just married Haven again at the end. It just felt abrupt and I couldn't really feel the build-up and so on. And Sinatra's Mike Connor is somewhat boring and toned down, nothing like the Mike Connor Jimmy Stewart delivers in his Oscar win (although arguably not his best role). The singing was pretty random as well, boring in places. The background was very crowded and too colourful throughout the movie and it hurt my eyes a lot :/ It wasn't that bad overall but I do prefer The Philadelphia Story and this is an example of the reason I generally don't like remakes.

"Who wants to be a millionaire? I dont" My favorite song from this musical . . . Frank Sinatra is just gorgeous and fantastic in this film. Grace Kelly is great playing the spoilt brat role. And Bing Crosby is just lovely.

after a month of trying to watch it i finally reached the end, and was pleased with the result. Grace Kelly was so beautiful in this movie and i wish she did have a longer career in film
-
MCT:January 5, 2008Ugh...a musical remake of "The Philadelphia Story" with freaking Grace Kelly playing Kate Hepburn's original part and Sinatra as Stewart and Bing as Cary???!!!! No, thanks.

Not quite as good as the Philadelphia Story but on its on terms very enjoyable and a fitting ending to Grace Kelly's film career.

The last film Grace Kelly ever stared in before she married Prince Ranier of Monaco. A brilliant film which is funny to watch and a little bit mental. They don't make them like that anymore.

Any movie that partners two of the greatest crooners of all-time can't be all bad. This movie isn't one of the greatest, but it has some very strong portions. Namely anytime Bing and Frank are on screen together.
