I would have rated the movie lower if not for the talented supporting cast and the two songs: "True Love" and "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?" I never understood Frank Sinatra's popularity (at least as an actor) but did recognize his talent as a singer, and he paled in comparison to Jimmy Stewart as Mike Connor in the original "The Philadelphia Story." If you want to witness an absolutely painful performance by Sinatra, watch "Young at Heart." Additionally, in most of her movies, this one in particular, I found Grace Kelly's voice annoying and her mannerisms stilted, affected and unconvincing. And, getting back to Sinatra, he and Celeste Holm had absolutely no chemistry - Holm seeming more like his older sister. Sadly, I never appreciated Louis Armstrong's voice either and found it grating, like I wanted to clear my throat from the scratchiness of it. It's a shame to note that in this movie, the supporting players far outweighed the stars, except for Celeste Holm, who I found to be charming in this role, but not as good as Ruth Hussey was in the original film.
