In 1957, The Motion Picture Academy infamously nominated a Bowery Boys flick called HIGH SOCIETY for an Oscar for Best Original Story when what they supposedly meant to nominate was, of course, the Crosby/Kelly/Sinatra musical of the same name.

But here's a contemporary piece that sheds some weird light on the subject, not the least of which is leaving Bernds and Ullman out entirely.
