[Announcer]
They start gathering early for the Hollywood Premier of High Society,
MGM's delightful musical starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank
Sinatra.
With the
coming of night comes a shower of millions of fragrant rose petals heralding
the parade of stars.
An excited
crowd sees the arrival of Cole Porter, the great songwriter who outdid
himself with his magnificent score for High Society.
