I am trying to locate an old movie. I posted this inquiry on ASPD, but the clock ran out before I could get any good traction on possible leads. Maybe posting my question on ECCIE might get a better response with a broader audience.

Basically, I would like to ask if anyone here knows how to locate an old movie if you only happen to remember a particular scene.

I've been looking for years and asked different movie buffs, but no one seems to know the name of the movie. I've also been trying to Google it, but no luck yet.

Basically, the scene I remember shows an aerial view of a fancy living room where numerous young and hot looking models come in, sit down on fancy leather couches and wait while flipping through magazines.

After a while, a guy pops out from upstairs and calls the next young hot model upstairs.

The movie then cuts to the next scene and the angry young fiancée of the guy upstairs storms into the room and loudly confronts the guy about what he is doing with all these women!

He is a rich playboy type and calms her down by explaining to her that he is used to "going through 8 or 10 girls a day", but he has been "cutting down" because of her!

He says it with such strong conviction that matches her indignation and I remember laughing and thinking how could any bride not see the immense sacrifice her new husband-to-be is making just for her and forgive him?

Maybe some of you movie buffs might have seen the movie and can tell me the name of it. I spoke to Tech Support at Netflix yesterday and the guy had a big laugh with me when I described the scene to him, but he was not able to help. He said he would pass the word to his developers and maybe they could expand their search engine capacity to locate a particular movie from only the description of a particular scene.

Can you remember any of the stars or even character names? What about the approximate year it came out?

Yeah, approximate year would be great. Also, if you could remember the names of any of the characters; not necessarily the actors, but the character names.

I am not really certain of any the names of any of the movie stars because I really was not able to see the entire movie.

I think it was a classic movie because the segment I caught looked like it was well crafted and maybe black and white format.

Just maybe it starred Grace Kelly because I remember she went from being a socialite to a movie star and then became a princess. I think maybe the prince she married could fit the profile of a rich playboy type.

The only certainty is the dramatic scene I described above and how I laughed when the playboy defended his position so vociferously!

It still amazes me how differently men and women can view the same exact situation.

They both had valid arguments, but neither party could understand or wanted to understand the other one's position!

IMDB might be helpful....

Hmmm. . .well she was only in like five movies and it sounds like your movie might be High Society. It also had Sinatra and Crosby in it.

There was also a movie called The Swan where she played a princess, but I don't think the male lead was a playboy.

Thanks, ss4699.

AST suggested that website and I'm poking around in it, but haven't found the movie yet.

http://www.imdb.com/

Anybody else got any ideas?

It was a great movie! Surely someone else saw it!

Well, thanks, ANONONE! I will have to check that movie out. If it's the one than I owe you a drink!

If you could think of any of the names of characters, this is the website I was going to recommend. It is oustanding. I have it bookmarked on all computers.
