Well, Did You Evah?, the wonderful song in High Society was written by Cole Porter for the 1939 show, DuBarry Was A Lady, starring Ethel Merman and Bert Lahr. I think Betty Grable and Charles Walters sang this song in it.
Well, Did You Evah? was delightfully done in High Society, as was every moment of Louis Armstrong on-camera.
Pete T., you may be right about the ripoff of Philadelphia Story, but I see you do agree that the music was great fun. Thanks for reminding me of that musical (you too, Emily Rain and Bseed).
