Bing Crosby is just amazing. I wish he were with us now so he could witnes that his "White Christmas" has remained as one of the very best Christmas songs.
My favorite scene from "High Society." It tells a story in just over 3 minutes: Trumpet master and Greek chorus Armstrong acts as cupid for Crosby and Kelly- opening the song downstairs, panning up to Crosby upstairs as he effortlessly slips into his tuxedo, tie, and even replenishes cigarettes as he croons this Cole Porter jewel- and in the 3rd act we see the delicious Grace Kelly taking it all in (of course she's still in love with Crosby)- before it all ends with Armstrong getting the wonderful closing line "now we're getting warm!!" Lovely. Elegant. Bewitching. And smashing direction by Charles Walters.
Ahhh... Louis Armstrong as Greek Chorus... Bing Crosby brushes off his tux jacket, perfectly, folds his pocket square, perfectly, ties a bow tie, perfectly, and fills his cigarette case, perfectly, all while singing this beautiful song, in two minutes and nine seconds; just brushing off my tux jacket takes longer than that, and I'm not usually singing as I do it. Note, also: That strange-looking appliance in the far right corner is a television set; and Bing's bedroom, including the walk-in closet, is larger than my first two apartments COMBINED. Who cares if the sound is out of synch? This is one of the most romantic moments in film history.
And I love you too samantha, Get to know Pops(nickname for Sachmo - also a nickname ) real name was Luis Armstrong. A big favorite of mine. Some life story too . He grew up in a Jewish household. If you know what Kol Nidre is he was first to play it on a trumpet. I saw him when I was about 17 . His music and voice and soul opened my heart to music. He opened my chest lifted my heart out kissed it and set it back! Love love love.
Since I posted this to Sam, we lost her, her husband and his father in a car accident just 30 days after their wedding. So happy to see my Sam at their wedding in Kathmandu, Nepal in Dec 2015... sure miss you my darling daughter... I love & miss you ... Dad xxx - Bing made this song for you I am sure.
Saw this film with my dad over 60 years ago. Brings back beautiful memories of the best dad ever.
Beautiful guys

Yep, everything about the scene (and especially the way it was shot) is terrific!
Oooh, I looooooove this song and nobody could sung it better than Bing. Maybe Frank could've been a close second, but Bing makes it sound heavenly.
God it makes you want to be called Samantha.....i could listen to Bing sing anything his voice is sooooo amazing!
Ahhh...

A lovely version and I also love the swinging version by Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen.
