While it doesn't follow the orginal plot exactly this is actually a remake of the Philadelphia Story that originally starred Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. While its hard to compare a remake to the original, if you just takes this as another musical it's well done. Crosby and Sinatra are great together and its a lot of fun to watch.
