Well, Did You Evah?

[@omennemo8844]

I think this was a great musical and they sang the songs much better than they did back then. Alanis Morrisette, Elvis Costello and the others did outstanding work.

[@janepoultney5207]

Yes, I didn't look for it myself, but I think the soundtrack from this movie must be great.

[@etps4444]

I just watched this movie for the first time this morning, and it was wonderful!! This scene/song was amazing!! :D

[@Mia7189]

Thank you for posting. I love this scene!

[@janepoultney5207]

Of course Sinatra and Crosby are better singers, but this movie puts the song in proper perspective. In High Society the song comes out of nowhere, and two men start singing about how great a party is when theyre not at a party themselves.

[@joryadamson7854]

Technically, both of them are at the party

[@odysseusrex5908]

On the contrary, they were at the party. They had just withdrawn into the library for a little peace and quiet. The scene ends with them going through the doors and rejoining the other guests.

[@bublay3]

De-Lovely is the Cole Porter biopic, so it's someone playing the composer and one of his friends, so he's not supposed to sound like Crosby. Porter has never been notorious for his grand crooning abilities.

One of the best movie Hollywood produced in the past decade.

It takes a couple of Kevin's to really rock a room!

[@mrs.herculepoirot7763]

This movie is so wonderful, Kevin Kline is perfect as Cole Porter.

[@etraig]

I love this film, and the cd. nice renditions of porter tunes by modern stars. the film credits have Cole him self singing "you're the top", and it's on the cd as well. Ashley and Kevin were so good together.

The song can't be beat, but personally I much more enjoyed the rendition by Frank and Bing in the "High Society" flick.

What about Robbie Williams and Jon Lovitz?

@@matthiasschulz3569 I'll respectfully ask to agree to disagree; I don't see the two main performers here having anywhere near the rapport that Frank and Bing had when they performed their rendition in "High Society."

@@georgehewett6243 I apologize for the misunderstanding: What I meant was that the Williams/Lovitz version of the song is pretty much the same arrangement as the Sinatra/Crosby one from High Society.

@Beccsz high society i think

[@Beccsz]

what movie is this?

[@williamanthony9090]

For those of you still wondering, this is from the film, "De-Lovely," which is a film biography of the composer, Cole Porter. On a ten scale, I rate it a four, but that's just me. I'm sure there's others out there who'll rate it much higher.

[@galacticjewels7856]

A four?? Personally I’d rate it maybe a 9, but I’m curious why you say 4? I totally respect your opinion, just curious as to why you disagree :)

[@6061649]

4) ??? 👎👎👎 I rate - this movie = 10 👍👍👍👍...Cole Porter the best composer👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@deniseshovlin]

which movie is this from??

[@Beccsz]

@Dramionelover101 no that can't be! high society is with grace kelly, frank sinatra, bing crosby and louis armstrong (and more)

iggy pop and debbie harry coverd this song i think there cover is better but have never heard of this version and also really like it

[@TheBoomhahaha2]

What is this from?

[@vonOhzu]

Where did they come up with this version?

[@janepoultney5207]

Cole Porter came up with the song in 1939, and this movie is a biography of Cole Porter.

[@sudmalis100]

dafaq? why? its brilliant in its own way but knowing the orginal...

[@janepoultney5207]

Very few people have seen the original. It was written for a Broadway play (and later a 1943 movie with Lucille Ball) called DuBarry w Was a Lady. High Society used in again in 1956.

What's it from? What's the name of the movie? I like how the movie , if it is, in this part but I really don't know what it is. Sinatra and Cosby way better.

[@JoeMartinMusic]

Decent, but no match for Frank and Crosby

[@carltrotter7622]

It doesn't compare to Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.

[@brhmer]

I must say this ist good,but Sinatra & Corsby can sing sing much better

[@Swagga144]

not nearly that good like in "high society"

[@robertjazzy3721]

De-lovely was a great film, but they did this bit terribly, Kline, Judd and the other guy were great but when they added the annoying, posh chorus, they were mutilating such a great song.

[@emmajochum8682]

i just found out that "other guy" is Mr. Gibbs from Pirates of the Caribbean. I need to sit in a corner and think about my life now....

[@janepoultney5207]

OMG people are idiots. Cole Porter wrote the damn song and the movie is a biopic of Porter. Nobody stole anything or copied anything. He wrote it for a Broadway play, not for High Society.

[@LilliSatine]

This is one of my favorites scenes from one of my favorite movies. Pity that everyone I date finds an excuse not to watch with me, lol. A,musical about a gay composer doesn't appeal to many straight men- or lesbians, for that matter. Kevin Kline's performance adds a new dimension to Cole Porter's public legend, and Ashley Judd is stunning and angelic. What's not to like?

[@idadudenmanner]

You gotta find a musician... Or a hippie. Or a straight guy who isn't from North America. Or a movie enthusiast bc this IS one of those movies that'll catch a REAL movie/music fan and they'll be into it.

[@waynej2608]

Exactly. I thought it was a fine film, superb cast, great production value and Porter's songs were wonderfully rendered by some truly significant artists, like Natalie Cole, Diane Krall, et al. Ashley Judd was magnificent. And for what it's worth, I'm a straight male, from the USA. Just one with good taste. 😎👍
