[Michael Fitzmaurice, News of the Day] They start gathering early for the Hollywood Premier of High Society,

MGM's delightful musical ...

starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra.

With the coming of night, comes a shower of millions of fragrant rose petals ...

heralding the parade of stars.

[High Society]

An excited crowd sees the arrival of Cole Porter,

the great songwriter who outdid himself with his magnificent score for High Society.
