Get ready to swing and swoon at the screening of the hi-def restoration of High Society (1956), followed by a discussion with renowned jazz expert and Bing Crosby biographer, Gary Giddins, and an exhibition of the gown worn by Grace Kelly in the film.
Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, and Frank Sinatra join Grace Kelly in delivering unforgettable music, sharp wit, sparkling romance, and iconic midcentury style!
High Society follows a glamorous socialite whose upcoming wedding is thrown into comic chaos when her ex-husband and a witty reporter arrive on the scene. With jazzy musical numbers, quick-fire banter, and zany misunderstandings, the film bubbles with energy, playful romance, and show-stopping performances—including Louis Armstrong’s legendary band—making it a true celebration of jazz and Hollywood screwball comedy.
