Synopsis
Based on the Philip Barry play "The Philadelphia Story" and the
musical screen motion picture it inspired, "High Society", the
plot centers on pretentious Long Island socialite Tracy Lord, who
is planning a June 1938 wedding to an equally pretentious
executive when ex-husband Dexter Haven arrives to disrupt the
proceedings. Additional comic complications arise when tabloid
reporter Mike Connor, who is there to cover the wedding, also
falls for the bride-to-be. The score's songs were compiled from
various Porter musicals; in some instances, updated or new lyrics
were provided by Susan Birkenhead.The 1956 film version from Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer starred Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Celeste Holm with Louis Armstrong as himself.
