The Phliadelphia Story and High Society are very similar. Both kept to the story line and most of the time kept to the script, verbatim.The biggest difference between the two is mostly the musical numbers. I enjoyed High Society more than Philadelphia Story even though the songs were a bit random, which was customary for this time period. Also, in High Society, Mike Connor never offers to marry the Tracy Lord and instead her ex husband, Dexter, immediately offers his own hand in marriage.
Stylistically the two could'nt be anymore different. The Philadelphia Story has a more urgent sense to it, and everything is supposed to be taken very seriously. High Society, on the other hand, has more of a comedic aspect to it, in ways almost making fun of the situation Tracy gets entangled in. In addition, High Society is more fun for the audience to watch and Philadelphia Story is entertaining in a different way.
While the two differed in a few ways, they were very similar, but I enjoyed High Society the most.
