He always looks so damn happy when he's playing; he exudes class and respectability and every good vibe you can imagine.

[@johneshuis1215]

he is stoned :)

Louis Armstrong was that rare and infectious performer that made you smile weather he was singing, playing trumpet or just talking

[@wordtothewise9723]

Who else wants Louis Armstrong's version of 'The Wedding March' at their wedding?

[@SophieMia806]

I've said this since the first time I ever saw the movie. It's awesome!

[@Worldwide170]

No words to describe gorgeous Grace Kelly in this movie- Beauty Queen. She's the only one. I think it's really impossible to see another Grace Kelly. She's the epitome of beauty and grace.

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

Here come the musicians, drummer n bass player n trumpeter hehehehehe ,: -D

[@usaneebeilles9510]

Great man- Louis Armstrong. How he lives his life is truly inspirational. I've so much admired and respected the man. A unique, powerful voice is widely known around the world. ❤ He'll always be remembered.

[@voltape]

very6 very good film - I saw it at its opening in 1956 - yupiii I was 21 years old then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@knudthuroe1678]

Oh how I wish they wrote songs like these now! Nostalgia...

[@alexandradane3672]

I adore this , I adored Louis Armstrong……. never mind his wonderful music , that wonderful smile, contagious laughter and joie de vivre .

[@sealyoness]

Mr. Armstrong used to have such a fine voice. But he could melt permafrost whenever he played. Thanx for the clip.

[@dinopacheco8197]

Love his voice.

[@AbrahamDiner]

Louis Armstrong singing Calypso. It was the era of Harry Belafonte.

[@jennifersman7990]

He had one of the best record deals around back then, he had the freedom to record pretty much whatever he wanted, and did! The only others with close to a comparable deal were Sinatra and later on, Ray Charles

[@knucklescapricorn31]

He always has this crazy look on his face! You can't watch him perform without smiling :D

[@steinwaygrande3971]

They just dont have any entertainers of this calibre any more.

[@victorkong82]

What about Justin Bieber? He's the Louis Armstrong of our times.

[@jennifersman7990]

Yes, Bieber is the Armstrong of our times, if it’s our time in hell

[@PlayNiceFolks]

They have better. You're just too lazy to find them.

[@lolom8772]

Jaron Talotta though there are some great entertainers now, back then you didn’t have to find the great ones since they were the main focus, but now crap is shown off while the great ones are kept in the shadows

@@victorkong82 Louis Armstrong has more talent in his little finger than Justin Bieber has in his whole body.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rozeecee]

High Society was the last film I saw at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Loved it for Louis and the jazz.

[@josephcalderon906]

The ending of the very well made remake has the croolest rendition of here comes the bride i've ever heard!.god bless the great satchmo(mr.louis armstrong)for existing on this planet,(even though it was a short time)for brightening and making our lives happier and much less grimmer,with his voice p,personality and music!.

[@allenpinnix5241]

love everything about the movie-- especially Satchmo....!!

[@Juliaflo]

This beginning is shortened--It starts, "just dig that scenery floating by, we're now approaching Newport Rhode-I, we've been for years and variety, Cholly Knickerbocker, now we're gong to be in High, High, High Soci-, High Society". (Accurate to the best of my knowledge).

[@robertdyson4216]

Just as i remember it, especially the "Newport Rhode-I" !

I never saw the movie. But this video just makes me feel a bit happy.

[@Lord_GhostBoner_]

I see usually see the world as completely fucked but the vey existence of Louis reminds me that sometimes you just gotta put on the rose tinted glasses and think to yourself what a wonderful world

[@beatrizmartino680]

Genial pelicula, y lo Q/es el Grandioso Luis Amstrong, todo glorioso!!

[@alanscott6836]

There's a strong case for Louis being both greatest Singer and Musician of the 20th Century

[@lolom8772]

Very strong case, he’s wonderful in every which way( though I prefer Sinatra as the best)

[@Ervilhaification748]

Beautiful

I love Barrett Deems in the end looking over Louis's shoulder. He looks so hyper!

I am going to do as Louis did with his "assistant", and watch this movie next weekend. Looks like a fun picture.

Well the movie is already a remake of “The Philadelphia Story” from 1940.

Satchmo was the root of all popular music, has influenced all over the world. Nobody like him would never appear.

[@jdewitt77]

This was a great movie and very funny. Great cast, good story, nice songs and Grace Kelly sure was hot. How her expression changed in the last scene was hilarious and shows what a great actress she truly was. Too bad she went to to Monaco to get married. Hollywood lost a great talent. She only made 11 films. Who knows what else she would have done had she stayed in the movie industry.

[@jennifersman7990]

jdewitt77 Yes, that’s very true but I think she always wanted to be a wife and mother and when she met Prince Rainer (spelling?) she found the man she wanted to be with forever, he just happened to be the Prince of Monaco. And I don’t think she ever truly turned her back on Hollywood she was still a voting member of the Motion Picture Academy and I think she served on the board of one of the film studios

I wonder if mr. satchelmouth and the dalai lama ever met; what a conversation THAT would have been, bodhisattva to bodhisattva--

[@halwasserman7905]

It's a wonderful performance of the song but I wonder when Louis Armstrong first sang did anyone offer him a throat lozenge? We all readily accept this style of singing today but there must have been a time when people said, "Are you kidding? Come back when you get over your sore throat."

Want too get oldies music

[@thebearclawjones]

No, claves are those wooden sticks. I'm too ignorant to have known which Trummy Young was exactly but, as there's no trombone in this song/scene, I'm going to guess Trummy Young also turned his hand to a little percussion, and that we are talking about the same guy..and yes, I bet they'd all be thinking how the times do change... BTW, it was just a funny - no racist ; )

What's this movie about?

[@jennifersman7990]

Grace Kelly is a member of Newport, R.I. society and she’s about to get married when her former fiancée Bing Crosby shows up and tries to convince her to marry him. Add to this is Frank Sinatra as a nosy tabloid reporter looking for a potential scandal. It all takes place over a weekend in Newport

[@suzannemoiraregis]

i'm too ignorant to know what the claves are, but I suspect you're referring to Trummy Young [on the trombone]; he was funny and he sort of resembles Obama; bet this band would have happy to see the day Obama won; I hope they could see it from Heaven, to which they surely took the express elevator--
