BING CROSBY, FRANK SINATRA, and LOUIS ARMSTRONG at Old City Hall in November
November’s film at Old City Hall in Jacksonville, Oregon will be HIGH SOCIETY, the only time the two great singers, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, ever appeared together on the silver screen… and what a show they put on. Add Louis Armstrong, and you have sheer musical bliss. Add Grace Kelly, Celeste Holm, and Louis Calhern, and you have an exquisite cocktail… for, this retold tale of THE PHILADELPHIA STORY strikes the right balance between elements of music, humor, light drama, and upper-class social propriety. But it is the presence of Crosby and Sinatra that lift this above the award-winning PHILADELPHIA STORY.
If that weren’t enough, almost every scene in HIGH SOCIETY is filmed with one object… to rival Versailles with sets rich in mansion sized rooms, matching furniture, and gowns so glamorous that only Hollywood’s elite wear such costumes today. In short, HIGH SOCIETY is a visual feast with the added attraction of being filmed in wide screen Technicolor.
HIGH SOCIETY will screen at 7 PM, Friday, November 16th at Old City Hall. The doors will open at 6:30 PM. And thanks to the City and Mayor Becker’s efforts, we now have COMFY CHAIRS!
