Slade W @LastBoyscout82 Jan 15, 2026 In my opinion? Far better than the original, because of the misic and the artists. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 Sep 19, 2025 A love story, musically remade, reduced to merely grasped conflicting romance by confusing feelings while mainly buoyed by the wonderfully talented cast in this good-spirited picture. (B+) See more Tim M @tgmacman Jun 6, 2025 Though not as iconic as the first adaptation, High Society earns its keep with decent tunes and a superb Grace Kelly. See more Rare T @RT00283363 Jan 28, 2025 It may seem unfair to High Society that it gets assessed based on the standards The Philadelphia Story had set before it, but that’s the path its makers chose, so it’s only expected. Yes, it can stand out on its own, especially with the cinematography, numbers, and performances, most notably from Grace Kelly in addition to the voices of Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. However, once one has seen Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and James Stewart in those roles, no other rendition will be the same, especially with the lack of feeling and chemistry in this movie as opposed to the original which was satiated with them and thus more convincing. In all, it’s nice to see both movies, as this is not as bad as to be missed.

I suppose High Society was made as a musical to try to set it apart. The acting in High Society is over the top, extremely awful, forced. Some of the same dialogue is part of High Society that was in the original movie but High Society tries dismally to change it slightly so that it comes off very awkward. It's only worth watching if you want to watch a bad movie. I highly recommend you stream The Philadelphia Story! Howard Hughes bought the rights of the movie for Katherine Hepburn.

It is perhaps a little slow plot pace wise but the characters are interesting enough and I certainly recognised a few of the songs. I thought this was a reasonably enjoyable musical. Some of the script is cringey but of course its a film of its time, so sexist comments etc. are to be expected. I wouldn't say this is a particularly standout type musical but its not bad either, hence my rating, so yes I'd recommend it but only to fans of musicals. See more Read all reviews
