A Classic Musical
So who would have thought of teaming Bring Crosby, Satchmo Armstrong AND Frank Sinatra together with the music of Cole Porter to dream up a "society story" around the well-heeled Newport Rhode Island clan? Well it works as a stylish collection of romantic tunes with laid back performances by Crosby. Sinatra brings a hard edge to the dialogue and albeit a slightly unusual pairing with Celeste Holm as magazine reporter/photographer duo. Grace Kelly is beautiful but almost too clean cut to be real and frankly over acts throughout. Louis Armstrong and his band adds spice in a few places and the "Well Did You Evah" duo by Crosby & Sinatra is a classic. O.K. the story is badly contrived but as long as we get to the wedding all's well that ends well. At least the orchestrations are lush and a Crosby/Sinatra combination adds all the class this musical needs. Pure soapbox as Crosby says in the song
One of the Greats
I can remember queing to get in to see this movie in 1956,how anyone can say this is an average film is beyond me.
Kelly, Crosby, Sinatra & Satchmo in great form lets cut a little slack guy's this is a 53 year old movie that still does it for me, and also my Grandkids who love it..
A wonderful soundtrack by the greatest musical composer of all Cole Porter..
Songs that have lasted
Its one of those, that hover in the memory and somehow get triggered to reappear, Who wants to be a millionaire? Never did, Never will but the song is just as fresh- the repartee Louis Armstrong, Sinatra, Grace Kelly, we did it differently with Flanagan and Allen but its the same nudging of ideas that shine through despite Hollywood and all its worst intentions over the years.
Review /enter? ........Enjoy.
