The songs from High Society are SUCH a mixed bag.

Louis Armstrong makes everything he touches gold.

Frank's two ballads, "You're Sensational" and "Mind If I Make Love To You" are insufferably insipid, and frankly I don't know how the second got past the Hays Code.

"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" puts a grin on your face, and "Did You Ever" is unquestionably the show-stopper.

"Now You Have (Has?) Jazz" is an ACTUAL BOP and Bing is adorably fun but also impossibly square.

Spending a few semiproductive hrs doing some Christmas decorating with #TCM. Adore #HighSociety. Outstanding cast and a fun remake of beloved #PhiladelphiaStory. I want to look, speak, move like #GraceKelly (want her whole wardrobe) but I want the wit and brilliance of #CelesteHolm. #TCM
