Storyline
The fictionalized biography of composer Cole Porter from his days at Yale in the 1910s through the height of his success to the 1940s. The film's attempted biography matches many public myths surrounding Cole at the time, despite its lack of relationship with truth. For instance, truth and movie are different in regards to: his sex life (he was a gay man in a marriage of convenience with a divorcee friend), his relationship with his wife, Monty Wooley was a contemporary (not Professor), and his French military experience was a hoax.

Trivia
The lack of musical performers on the Warner Bros. roster led to the studio putting some of its non-singing contract players, including Eve Arden, Jane Wyman and Dorothy Malone, to work in song-and-dance numbers. The only performer who doesn't sing is Alexis Smith, who, ironically, would become a Tony Award-winning musical theatre star decades later as the star of Broadway's "Follies" and "Platinum."

Throughout the film Porter is portrayed as a lady's man when, in reality, he was openly homosexual. See more »Quotes

I enjoyed seeing Cary Grant in a movie that I had not seen this movie before. I noticed a lot of good actors as well. I understand Cole Porter wished Cary Grant to be cast to play the famous composer. It's impossible to anticipate if you will like this movie, those who wish to be more critical always find fault in every movie, but fans of Cary Grant, Cole Porter, and the many other fine actors found in this movie may be quite happy watching it. I recommend watching it to judge for yourself. You will find Monty Woolley, whose fine personality is not in enough films. Always beautiful Alexis Smith is never more beautiful. Jane Wyman plays a substantial role worth viewing. Keep an open mind and enjoy the movie!
