Worth a look for the supporting cast and the music alone. As a story it is far too sanitised to be much good and it's most definitely not a factual account of Cole Porter's life.

An entertaining but completely inaccurate biopic of Cole Porter, "Night and Day" is really a showcase for Porter's magnificient songs.
Although I'm a fan of Porter, I've often wondered why on Earth Hollywood wanted to do a movie on him at this time. Porter was a homosexual (a no-no back then), he preferred Broadway to Hollywood, and his lyrics were often censored. Indeed, this movie borders fiction as so much of it is a fabrication.
For fans of Cary Grant, Alexis Smith or Cole Porter's songs, I'd recommend "Night and Day". For those who want a factual biography on Porter, stay away. -
MCT:November 17, 2007A very Hollywood-ized version of the life of Cole Porter starring Cary Grant as Porter and directed by Michael Curtiz (Casablanca). Great music and a very good performance by Grant (as usual).

Almost total fabrication of Cole Porter's life, but you can't beat the music and even though Cary Grant is unusually stiff in the title role the rest of the cast is fun, especially Jane Wyman in one of her last light hearted and blonde roles.

I wonder if audiences at the time were aware of the fraudulent aspects of Porter's life as shown in this film? Or if they cared? Certainly it was his music that attracted them. And that's what attracts me to this guilty pleasure. Porter's list of songs is well represented, and presented, however Grant is wooden and Smith is distant, but they still don't sink the whole thing.

surprsingly good. I thought Cary Grant in a music based movie would be a dissaster, but it was done very well.

Although factually inaccurate, lovely to look at and very smalzy with great renditions of his classic music - most ofwhich were horribly done in the more recent biography De_lovely
