Description

Prep your fingers for some snapping and your toes for some tapping because this month's Sunday Afternoon Classic is a song-filled favourite with million-watt star power - including the luminous Grace Kelly in her final film role!

 

Bing Crosby plays Jazz artist C.K. Dexter Haven, who's still hung up on his ex-wife and neighbour, socialite Tracy Samantha Lord (Kelly); however, Tracy is engaged to another man (John Lund). Matters are complicated even further when a magazine reporter (Frank Sinatra), in town to cover Tracy’s wedding, also winds up falling for the beautiful bride-to-be. As Tracy tries to decide on the ideal husband, each suitor works hard to convince her he is the best choice.

 

With a to-die-for score by Cole Porter, this musical remake of The Philadelphia Story was shot in glorious Technicolor, features a performances by Louis Armstrong and was Bing Crosby's favourite film of his entire career! How could you possibly miss it?
