MUSICALS - NIGHT AND DAY(1946)
Somewhat of a biography of one of the greatest musical
geniuses of our time, Cole Porter(Musicals: Can Can, Kiss
Me Kate, High Society, Anything Goes, Silk Stockings, Songs:
Begin The Beguine, Night And Day, I've Got You Under My
Skin, and even Roy Rogers' hit song, Don't Fence Me In)!!
This is one of the very few musicals that Cary was in!! Be
forwarned, this is pretty long!!! A
A review from an IMDb.com customer:
Good musical that could have been even better if it had
better editing.Starts slow and then builds momentum.
The directing style was inconsistent where in there are
scenes that are top quality and then there are scenes
that are just done in a rushed and sloppy way which is
weird because those bungled scenes are those that are
easily done.Despite these faults,the MUSIC here to any
big music fan will certainly encourage you to forgive
and enjoy.Grant is very stiff here but this is due to his
capturing Porter's mannerisms.The biography is toned
down/adjusted to Porter's version for the mainstream
audience,so if one really wishes to dig into his real life
which is very x-rated stuff,read his bio books instead.
The production of this film coupled with it's great
music will be great for one who wants uncontroversial
musical entertertainment.I love the 1940's color
technique here too.Only for early 2oth century POP
music fans and big fans of the lead actors...... - kenandraf
