Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic!
Review: Our family is a big fan of musicals and old movie classics and "Night and Day" fits into both categories perfectly! We rented this movie a few days ago and fell in love with it immediately. The story of Cole Porter, portrayed by Cary Grant, is such a neat one, showing the sacrifices he made, and the difficulties of becoming a composer. I give this a 5 star rating. I think that young and old alike will fall for this movie right away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still a Romantic Best
Review: Songs that are still romantic, tasteful, memorable and elegant. Story line is inaccurate but who cares?? Cary Grant is fabulous!!!

Summary: MARY MARTIN SAVES THE DAY!
Review: Story of the adult life of Cole Porter, through his accident on a horse and recouperation.

Regarding him and his spouse, what were these two people really like, and their marriage? We'll never know from this movie, which portrays them in a one-dimensional, saccharin mode.

Grant tries to rise above the script and almost does. Alexis Smith simply sinks.

The film's saving grace is the fabulous music. The production numbers are more than gratifying, Ginny Simms and Jane Wyman being the main performers.

But remember Mary Martin, the gem of our American theatre? She steals the whole film with only scene wherein she belts out "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" to remind us how thrilling and awesome her talent really was. Worth the film just to see this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a very entertaining and colorful film
Review: Though this film is probably nothing like the real true stoy of Cole Portor's life, it is still entertaining and colorful, with great soongs and costumes. C ary Grant, really shine in this film. It's a great musical with lots of song, dance, and pretty costumes with color.

Summary: Inaccurate, Inane, and Corny
Review: What can I say? This movie is hysterically ridiculous. Even if it were not woefully inaccurate, the dialogue is stupid -- even Cary Grant had a hard time making the movie. Normally I love old movies, but if you know anything at all about Cole Porter, you can't help but laugh and grimace simultaneously during this corny flick.

De-lovely is somewhat more accurate, though not nearly enough. However, it's a better (fictional) story and better produced.

If you must watch this, then listen for the music and ignore the inane plot and wooden acting.
