    Hollywood Loves to Fictionalize
    The only reason to watch this is:

    COLE PORTER'S MUSIC COLE PORTER'S MUSIC

    Hey.....I am a big fan of Cary Grant, but the only reason to watch this is:

    COLE PORTER'S MUSIC COLE PORTER'S MUSIC

    The musical productions are pretty, the musical arrangements are enjoyable. And the only reason to watch this is:

    COLE PORTER'S MUSIC COLE PORTER'S MUSIC

    Most of this story was completely fabricated because Hollywood just didn't deal with gay life then. It was verbotten...everything had to be glazed over. Hollywood made such an industry of Fictionalized Biographies that I must choose my favorite of these genre: the George Gershwin "story" called RHAPSODY IN BLUE.

    So, if you haven't guessed yet what the only reason to watch this movie is...it's:

    COLE PORTER'S MUSIC!!!
