For the 29th Academy Awards , '' High Society '' was accidentally included on the ballot in category for the Academy Award for Best Story . The error took place because another film with the same title – the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production of the 1956 Cole Porter musical '' High Society '' starring Bing Crosby , Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra – was in release . Edward Bernds and Elwood Ullman , the screenwriters for The Bowery Boys comedy , acknowledged their nomination was a mistake and successfully requested their removal from the Academy Award ballot
