Q"Philadelphia Story"---How Did It Get Re-made as "High Society"?
AChicago Tribune, Wednesday, June 13, 1956, pt. 3, p. 4, c. 2:LOOKING AT HOLLYWOODby Hedda HopperYears ago Mervyn Leroy turned down Clark Gable because of his ears. Mitch Leisen goofed, too, when Paramount considered buying "Philadelphia Story." "I dont't think a snob picture like that would sell, " he said. So Metro got the story and made a fortune with Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart. Now they've remade it as "High Society," with Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra. Frank doesn't get the girl, but he steals the picture. . . .__________________________________
