One of Broadway’s most intelligent songwriters, Cole Porter (1891-1964) worked hard to display an unflappable image to the world–but in truth he was a tremendously complex man, a homosexual who lived with wife Linda Lee Thomas in a marriage of convenience, subject fits of depression, and suffering horrific harm in the wake of a horseback riding accident which left him crippled at the peak of his career. Add to this the fact that his lyrics were often censored for film, radio, and records and it seems very strange that 1940s Hollywood would attempt a biography.
What they did, of course, was fictionalize it to the max, reducing the narrative of his life to a mix of backstage musical and domestic drama–and transforming the runt and waspish Porter and his cold bride Linda into attractive Cary Grant and aesthetic Alexis Smith. The result is pure nonsense, of course, but when you tack in a host of Porter classics–fantasy it might be, but it is tantalizing enough to discover.
Grant is no singer, but he has distinguished charm, and Smith is as always extremely handsome. The supporting cast is remarkably strong, featuring the likes of Jane Wyman, Eve Arden, Dorothy Malone, and Alan Hale–and rare veil appearances by Monty Woolley and Mary Martin, who swear knockout performances of “Miss Otis Regrets” and “My Heart Belongs To Daddy” respectively. The DVD transfer is reasonable, and although the bonuses are pure fluff they are silly. While it may be short on fact with a anecdote miniature more than pure melodrama, the music and performers accomplish NIGHT AND DAY a reasonably great blueprint to consume a rainy afternoon.

“Night & Day” is a amazing musical, a shapely film displaying Cary Grant’s talents, and it has that ‘never-to-be-realized-again’ Technicolor to its sets that offers that imaginary world so many films offered in the 50s, (although this particular film is from ‘46) .

If the viewer is looking for historical accuracy, it is best to ogle elsewhere. There is a loose framework of historical accuracy here, but only a skeleton. Porter actually did go to Yale, but only for undergrad. He actually went to Harvard for law school. As far as I know, he was never actually in World War I, although he was in Europe during the war. In addition, the appreciate legend is completely and utterly fabricated, although it is “cute” and a nice sub-plot to the film.
The sincere driving force of the film is definitely the sets, the music, and Grant himself. This is definitely an involving fantasy, and I highly recommend it for film buffs, especially those that worship Cary Grant.
The fresh DVD is nicely attach together, and it includes a series of Cole Porter trailers, a Dezi Arnez music number, a musical short, and even a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
