There's also the fact that they downplay the ex-husband's character flaws in order to make him a character worth rooting for as he tries to win back the woman he loves, which does make the film's ending more tolerable as a result.

High Society was an entertaining and frothy musical version of the 1940 classic The Philadelphia Story, which ironically won an Oscar for Original Screenplay since it was based on another film.
