Movie Reviews of Night and Day
Movie Review: Night and Day is delightful!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's clear from the beginning of this film that the star of Night and Day is the music of the man himself...Cole Porter. The song and dance sequences are beautifully done (the tap dancing number in particular was fantastic) and I even took pleasure in the story. Of course, since this film has been made, we now know much more about Cole Porter than is revealed in this film such as his being homosexual. However, I find that Night and Day better honors Porter and his love of his music first and foremost. It is a delightful and entertaining movie that truly sings Cole Porter's praises.
Summary of Night and Day
With Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) as director, Cary Grant in the lead, and wall-to-wall songs by Cole Porter, how could Night and Day lose? Why, by taking broad liberties with the composer's life story and failing to live up to expectations. If you can overlook such shortcomings, however, it's lively entertainment that doesn't completely deserve the scorn it has elicited. Grant is good as a bon vivant who had a way with words but lacked the discipline to pursue a career in law. As a singer, on the other hand, he's merely adequate. Curtiz wisely has the fine supporting actresses (Jane Wyman, Ginny Simms, etc.) handle the big numbers such as "You're the Top." Also, Porter's story was meant for black and white. The Technicolor process adds an unfortunate garishness to the tale of a man whose very name has become a synonym for elegance. With Mary Martin and Monty Woolley as themselves. --Kathleen C. FennessySwellegant and elegant. Deluxe and delovely. Cole Porter was the most sophisticated name in 20th-century songwriting. And to play him on screen Hollywood chose debonair icon Cary Grant. Grant stars for the first time in color in this fanciful biopic. Alexis Smith plays Linda whose serendipitous meetings with Cole lead to a meeting at the altar. More than 20 Porter songs grace this tale of triumph and tragedy with Grant lending his amiable voice to You're the Top Night and Day and more. Monty Woolley a Yale contemporary of Porter portrays himself. And Jane Wyman Mary Martin Eve Arden and others provide vocals and verve. Lights down. Curtain up. Standards embraced by generations are yours to enjoy Night and Day.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569596221
