Review

As Hollywood fiction, this is pretty entertaining stuff; but as the true biography of legendary songwriter Cole Porter, it's laughably inaccurate. And though no one ever complained about seeing Grant in a film, he's not exactly the perfect choice to play the composer. Woolley plays himself as Cole's best friend. Martin has a small scene singing "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." Of course, a film made in 1946 would never have even hinted at Porter's well-known homosexuality.

Customer Reviews

What an insult, even for 1946!

Riker wrote on 07/21/2008:

That two people of questionable sexuality (Grant and Smith) played this "straight" is a miracle in itself. And to play it as a real romance was truly absurd. Better to leave the whole marriage thing alone and focus on Porter's tremendous career. Linda Porter was a much older rich woman who was abused by her first husband. That she didn't have to worry about anything physical in her marriage to Cole was a great relief. The Porters must have wet themselves watching this travesty.
