    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Because of strict censorship imposed by the era's Studio Production Code, no mention at all is made of Cole Porter's real-life open homosexuality, or the fact that his marriage to Linda Lee Thomas, though caring and convivial, was not a romantic or sexual one.
    • Goofs
      When in England, there are street performers singing "Rosalie". The accordion player's hands never press the keys, in fact his right hand is static throughout the whole scene.
    • Quotes

      Monty Woolley: Haven't you ever wanted to be alone?

      Gracie Harris: Yes, but with somebody.

    Skip Delovely and Catch this One again
    After suffering through "Delovely", I had to feel good again about Cole Porter's music. Where Delovely focuses on Porters Homosexuality, a subject that Night and day ignores, Night and day performs his music in brilliant fashion. Forget the corny fictionalized screenplay and just sit back and enjoy:

    Mary Martins version of My Heart Belongs to Daddy.

    Cary Grant singing "Your The Tops".

    Cole Porter's stirring "Night and Day", "Begin the Beguine". A song that Delovely totally butchers.

    "It was Just One of Those Things" The Haunting "In the Still of the Night"

    And so many more.

    This is strictly for Cole Porter's music. If your interested in how he enjoyed his spare time, Delovey is for you. For me, I just enjoy his music.
