High Society "Did you ever?" - Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby

[CastleIvanhoe]

You need more than just that kind of screenwriter or that kind of songwriter...You have to have the kind of artists with Barry's and Porter's aesthetic mindset and you would have to have a cultural environment where this kind of elegance is appreciated and promoted. I am not saying this is impossible today, but it is difficult, because only total juvenile c*ap gets the attention these days or pretentious, PC-coated tedium

[VTKlutZ]

@ 1:13 does he say "oh f*** no?"

[Pennywisea]

I think this is better than The Philidelphia Story, even though that's what it was originally spoofing.

[lewtroop]

For movies like this to be made again, you'd have to have Philip Barry write the play for Katherine Hepburn that becomes the movie "The Philadelphia Story". Then have a selection of Cole Porter Songs available to enhance an amusing story. Then you'd have a movie like this.

[FarminFarmian]

The reaction of Sinatra-2:20 when Crosby says 'You must be one of the newer fellows'. Oh dear they are so funny- great singers. Love their quality!

[andrewshere]

3 minutes of magic!

[berndl]

Champaigne???

[berndl]

Champaign??

[TheMusicguy68]

SINATRA AND CROSBY+HIGH SOCIETY!

Think I must be in heaven! Great Duet!

I saw this classic movie when it came out as a teenager and loved it! Fifty years have passed! I am still a Sinatra fan! I simply find this duet captivating! These two gents were huge talents! To see them again in this video is pure magic!

[gzam3k]

The Ratpack boys version of this video is an interest contemporary remake of this.

[HonkyCat90]

The Robbie Williams version brought me here. But I think this version is even better.

[bass109]

Jesus son of most highest, great song

[BarbyCurtis70]

One of the best musicals of all time!!! Love it!!!

[racerbrow]

This is a song I remember as a kid. Very Classy, these guys were the best in their time.

[CML96]

One fo the greatest movies evah, with one of the greatest soundtracks evah, performed by two of the greatest entertainers evah. :)

[smellincoffee]

"Don't dig that kinda croonin', chum."

"You must be one of the newer fellows!"

[MissBelle12396]

Frank and Bing singing to Cole. :) Love it.

[ledzeppelin104]

Sinatra had the charisma but Bing had the voice.

[dollyflp]

thanks for the vid x

[horseglory]

It's too bad that they weren't such great people in real life! That doesn't change the fact that they were both amazing actors and singers!

[ummjw]

Love it!

But I think Crosby far out strips Sinatra in this.

[ianhall61]

tit

[gbushimprov]

I think maybe the way Bing sang this was a little better but then Sinatra was playing a drunk guy. Besides, Sinatra's performance was so much funnier :D

[tosve1985]

Jedan od najboljih filmova svih vremena.

[ciachoPL]

why world can't be like that again

[SuzTrescow]

pls god or whomever is supposedly up there !

[dhefprod]

@ciachoPL

'cause people like sinata destroy it :)

[DreadedGuardian]

@ciachoPL You mean completely void of civil rights?

[EHJEMG]

Go to your nearest video store I have movie on dvd,,,they can order it for you.Got mine at spin street ..in memphis tn

[clevelandbrowns31fan]

[pursehappygal]

Sorry, also meant to say Thank You for posting this. Such a classic, and just such a great movie all the way around.

[pursehappygal]

"Don't dig that kind of crooning chum"

"You must be one of the new fellows"

Too funny!

"..got pinched in the Astor Bar."

I love this movie...especially this song.

[Cidriullo]

hah, i always thought he said

"got pinched in the ass to hard." wondered how they got it by the fun inspectors. Pretty clever. Thanks for posting, fun stuff.

[GabyzZuPine]

can somebody help me finding the lyric of this song?

thanks

[soundslikefrank]

I forgot how great this scene is - Frank and Bing, Bing and Frank. Classic.

[KatherineXIX]

This is the best scene in the film.

[diegorat2]

he was always the best

[BeatriceBlake]

Love this song so much. Tequila is better than champagne though :-)

[brendubab]

I may have a bit of the bubbly myself

[Xeria]

gotta love seeing these two sing together

great that we have it on film

[hpfan]

This is one of the most classic scenes from any movie: Frank and Bing together. Wow! What an amazing movie...what phenomenal entertainers! Those voices. They don't make 'em like them anymore.

[goldenshadow]

Bing Crosby is the reason I watch this movie over and over and over...

[ughhhead]

I'm 24 and this is way before my time but if this isn't classic I don't know what is or ever will be!

[sanjiandnami12]

i love bing.

he's my favorite :)

[Blueroc64]

I love at 1:55 when they're sizing each other up. So funny!

[MrPapaGeorgio1901]

LMAO! That's hilarious about you saying they probably voted no on prop 8. However, I don't think what happened with prop 8 is funny. So I guess we'll scratch this one.

[krew07]

they most likely voted no on prop. 8...

[willyfxp123]

i like both versions (robbie william's version as well)

[emrys6]

I saw this once when I was very little and it took me forever to remember the words so I could find this on youtube! I love it!

[mitatlab]

respect to the legends........

[jaman182]

majstersztyk

[wullies11]

This is a fantastic video.

[liquidfreak]

1:19 "She was Stoned"

[sweetbriargirl]

It just means drunk.

[morella1983]

i love this movieee!!, but i´ve always preffer bing.

[jt4237381185]

This is my favorite part of the movie. I love how they come charging back in for another drink lol.

[glcfordco]

Dont dig that kind of crooning chum,

You must be one of the newer fellas

Great Cole Porter lyrics......

Thanks

Gailxx

[Bloodbirdy]

That was HILARIOUS

Frank: I'm gonna have a drink.

Bing: I may have a bit of the bubbly myself.

Frank: I'm gonna dance

Bing: Don't get hurt.

Just the way Frankie says that always kills me. From getting a drink one more moment to "I'm gonna dance" the next...PRICELESS!

[Beccsz]

'This French champagne' 'Domestic' "So good for the brain" 'That's what I was gonna say!' 'You know you're a brilliant fellow?' :D

Omg i love them so much!! And this movie! I know all the songs by heart :)

xx

[KristinaBrown21]

LOVE LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I'm a huge fan of Frank Sinatra and I know every word to this song. I love the part about Mimsy Star.

[oohyllab]

Great fun this movie. Much better version than the one with Katharine Hepburn. Eek. Thanks giulianadp.

[corkington1]

These guys were the absolutle finest! What a song.

[itsayskeds]

heaven.

[thegoldenera]

I'm only so astonished at Frank all the time in the movies. He really was a pretty darned decent actor. This movie was lots of fun. Thanks.

[larence77777]

one of my favorite moveis.check out some of my favorite mex...just good music... sounds from my youth--long ago and farrraway

[dubkeith73]

35 now from dublin ireland... loved this film as a young kid... what singing love it thanks to my mum for showing me this x x x

[PampersFritzi]

Does anybody know the name of the piece the theme at 1:52 is from? I know it has to be some viennese waltz and it's embarrassing I don't know where it's from -.-

Must be Strauß or so...please help me :-)

btw a great movie! I love the Louis Armstrong scenes too!

[sheezcrazy]

PampersFtritzi: the Strauss song is by Johann II, "Der Fledermaus".

[skye131924]

I've loved this movie since I was young. The interesting part of it is that the person who lent the movie to my sister at the time, to watch was named Samantha :)

[Poutabout]

Ah back when men aspired to be...men! So chivalrus even when well oiled! I love this one.

[sergiocarbonejr]

muito foda = fuckin great!!!!!

[Dustinluva07]

lol please don't eat that glass my friend!

[Wacka14]

I used to sing along with this all the time as a kid XD

[Bluequotations]

im so glad im not the only one! im 28 and my mum bought me up on this film.this is my favorite number ever!

[Wacka14]

:) turn 22 this month

They just don't make musicals like this anymore. I'm glad musicals are kinda making a comeback, but I could do with an original that has some of the old magic. less gimmicks, more soul

[PythonTV]

I just think that it is great that Frank's biggest influence-Bing sang with him in the movie. Frank said he was so nervous to be in Bing's presence that he had diarhea for a week. He also said that Crosby made him so nervous that he did actually drink.

If you remember-it was Crosby whom Sinatra admired and why he went into show-business in the beginning.

By the end of filming, the two didn't get along so great. They were both bedding Grace.

[Juliaflo]

Trivia--In the 'True Love' number, the future serene highness is wearing her real-life engagement ring.

[ClassicFilmFan]

"You're my bon amie"

-"Hey, that's french!"

'J'adore' them both!! And this song (&actually all the songs in 'High Society') are amazing.

[Beckylou87]

NAHHHHHHHHHHH Let's Drink to your wealth

[kjhnic]

okay...did any one else notice that they switch glasses?

right before the ba ba ba ba rum part...they switch glasses bing drinks from franks and frank drinks fro bing's

[hawkssens]

Yes! I just watched it again and it's true!

[kjhnic]

oh thank god

i thought i was going crazy..hah

[Stoke55]

They go off camera before you actually see them drink from those glasses so the glasses could have been changed!!!!

[marxfan8]

"Have you heard that Mimzy Starr

She got pinched in the ASS-tor Bar!!"

That lyric never fails to make me laugh!!! Thanks for posting!

[kjhnic]

lol same here..

i love it

especially the way he says it

[Beckylou87]

Nothings cuter then Frank acting drunk!

[harrispiltonic]

i agree. but maybe it isnt "acting drunk". you know what i mean... :-) but they`re great anyway!!!!

[leoo1313]

This is one of my favorite parts of this movie. It's a fabulous duet. Love it!

[randeedawn]

One of my favorite musical numbers .. evah!

[morebliss]

Thanks for posting this as a vid. It's one of my absolute favs!

[bchfront]

This song of Cole Porter's was what songwriters' call a "trunk item" -- meaning it wasn't written directly for the movie, but apparently made it's first-bow on Broadway, in a show called "DuBarry Was A Lady", with Ethel Merman and Bert Lahr. But obviously, eveyone at Metro felt it would fit very snuggly in the plot for these two-gentlemen, and they were right! The Astor Hotel,is also ref. to in "Dinner At 8" when Harlow tells Beery, "You couldn't even get into the men's room at the Astor!" R.J.

[PipamirSolo]

Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra singing in a duet togather. It dosen't get much better than this.

[PipamirSolo]

1:48-2:02 always makes me smile :)

[OfficerJohnMcLane]

Two of the best entertainers ever.

Love this film.

[mny152]

this is a great movie -- cole porter music set to the philadelphia story! :O)

[danae7oly]

[26mae1987]

[CartoonFan56]

Bing and Frankie never disappoint.

[TheMusicmanMB]

The name of the Movie is High Society, Turner Classic Movies or something like that is hosting a Frank Sinatra Special this month, the dvd is on sale for about $12. Noldorin really we all know that it was a real bar but if you read all the comments you'll understand. Anyway great scene, Wouldn't say it's like the greatest But I like it and that counts =D

[rubysky7]

i so love this film anyone know where i can get it?

[BillDFC]

"You must be one of the newer fellas". Love it!!

[TheOmnipotentJuggler]

Sinatra does some brilliant acting in this scene!

And as always both him and Bing sing wonderfully :)

[hsdcommet]

love this more than normal songs in these movies they acctualy look at each other and wonder why there saying the same thing in movies it's supposed to be spontanious how do u know what the other person is going to say

great song great movie and love it better than philadelphia story (more singing)

[FootinMouthDisease]

Love this movie, great songs. Totally Yar.

But if you haven't seen the original it was based on, (Philadelphia Story - 1940, with Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart) then hire or buy it. Great pair of movies for any collection.

[Tomasina1616]

I LOVE this scene!! You can tell they had fun doing it!

[LifeCouldBeADream11]

This is basically the greatest scene in the greatest movie that has ever been made!!!!

[chocolatenoodle]

definitely!

i totally agree - love it

[abogadomanzano]

Nunca más se podra ver en un mismo film un acombinación maravillosa de actores como Crosby y Sinatra, acompañado con la excepcional música de Cole Porter y el talento de Satchmo, ah y el encanto de Grace Kelly

[TheMusicmanMB]

Great clip, I love the song. And I got the ass-tor bar part as well. The funny part is I'm only 14.

[xreddragonx]

"The funny part is I'm only 14."

WOW...nobody cares how old you are.

[TheMusicmanMB]

Wow your a faggot xreddragonx. get a life

[Pizzatastic]

WOW...nobody cares about your opinion

[tigerchen80]

Although the whole clip is amazing!

Astor Bar... lol.

[Manorette]

that's my favourite part too, just fantastic!! I'm going to look for Guys n Dolls now...

[sheezcrazy]

What a swellegant, elegant collaboration between three brilliant and gifted gentlemen. Thank you Cole, Bing and Frank, for choosing music as your livlihood, and sharing it with the rest of us.

[faze2b]

My father had the soundtrack album when I was a few years old. I loved this song even when I was a kid and I got the Astor Bar joke

[OldsVistaCruiser]

My mom had this number on a 45 rpm record and I got the Astor Bar joke too - I was born in 1964.

[7thstooge]

Can you please explain the Astor Bar joke for me?

[OldsVistaCruiser]

Did you hear about Mimsy Starr?

She got pinched in the Ass-tor bar!

It was a way of sneaking "got pinched in the ass" past the Hayes Office.

The Hayes Office was the movie industry self-censorship bureau prior to the implementation of the movie rating system in the late 1960s.

[7thstooge]

Oh! So that's why. Thank you!!

[NoldorinPrince]

No Joke, in the song they mentioned the Astor Bar... it's a real bar, and while the girl was in the bar, somebody Pinched her... they are NOT sining about her getting pinched in the backside

[rascal711]

lol - it's meant to be a witty joke

[superbu1]

But obviously it's intended as double entendre, NoldorinPrince.

[stickym12]

lol love this scene and movie!! absoultely brilliant!

[ElizabethR1558]

I love this scene. Thanks for uploading it.

"Nahhhh! Let's drink to your wealth!"

One of the best duets you can find, and Francis Albert doing a drunken soft shoe to boot. Does it get any better???

[mattdamonsgirl]

That was interesting : )

[Matt3740]

Execuse me I meant he sings amazingly!

[Matt3740]

Bing truly the best of them all, yes frank was great but you can't beat ol Bing hes amazingly!

[amirshah1212]

Pure Class!

[vincero2006]

Indeed Frank is the true Master here ..acting AND singing ..this is a great duet, and not as simple as they make it seem.

[abelseeman]

"B-bu-bu-bu-bu-bum." "Don't dig that kind of crooning chum." BRILLIANT!

[prodigiesofpeace]

"You must be one of the newer fellas."

So great :)

[daniellekaulitz1]

[resa1107]

These two were the best. You can't find a pair like them today. I grew up with this kind of music and I'm only 18!

[inskip072]

I grew up with them too, and I'm only 67!

It makes me happy to know that these fantastic

artistes mean so much to someone so young

[giulianadp]
