    A great musical from Warners, all star cast with Cary Grant as Cole Porter and Alexis Smith as his wife Linda. The music was great but the film was squeaky clean and again, it took a lot of liberties with what really happened. But who cares? The movie was just one big enjoyable m...( read more)usical.

    Wonderful, even if entirely fictitious, and then some.

    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.
  • March 17, 2008
    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 ...( read more)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.

    They left out all of the gay stuff.
  • January 10, 2008
    It's decent. It doesn't tell the truth about Cole Porter, but the music is top notch.
  • November 17, 2007
    A 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).
  • October 6, 2007
    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.
