Remakes: The Philadelphia Story & High Society

It is so rare to love a particular romantic comedy and then love its 16-year later musical remake just as much, but boys and girls, that's exactly what happened to me with this pair.  Excuse my pessimism but that kind of packaging just never turns out so well but it certainly did here.

Edmond O'Brien

Throughout his 35-year movie career, he was mainly a character actor, albeit on the highest rungs of the ladder.  He  appeared in countless famous films and people who went to movies during Hollywood's Golden Age have seen his work over and over again.  At the same time, he was given starring roles in a number of B films, many of which were film noir.  Edmond O'Brien and crime just seemed to go together.
