De-Lovely (2004)
9/10
My 1st introduction to Porter
20 January 2005
I rented this movie not knowing quite what to expect from it. I recognized Cole Porter's name, since I am a fan of the old Hollywood musicals, but I knew nothing of the man behind the songs. This movie whet my interest in finding out more about the life & times of Cole Porter. It gave me just enough tidbits of his life to interest me without overwhelming and bogging down the telling of the story.

I really enjoyed the presentation of this story. It may be a bit flawed, but it allows the audience to see how Cole might respond to reliving his past. The music was fantastic, and the aging throughout the movie of both Kevin Klein & Ashley Judd was top notch.

This movie made me laugh and cry. I was seriously keyed into the characters & story, which is very important to me. Since it all came together so well, I gave this film a 9.
