Director Starring |
Nothing special here but solid entertainment if you like show tunes and Cary at his most charming in this half-fictional Cole Porter biopic. I’ve read he had his reservations about taking on the role and was not happy with his work (it’s not entirely his fault by any stretch: aside from the lovely songs, this is hardly Porter’s life), but if you look at it as a character this is typically high-caliber work. Alexis Smith has zero screen presence; Jane Wyman, who I may have never seen in anything before & had never heard of before her recent death is full of energy and quite good. Really this sort of thing is an actor’s showcase so I’ll delve no further… |
