Résumés(1)
Un portrait musical du compositeur américain Cole Porter, émaillé d'une multitude de ses inoubliables chansons. Ce dernier se représente son passé à la manière d'un de ses grands spectacles musicaux, en faisant défiler sur la scène de sa mémoire les personnages et événements qui l'ont marqué. A travers des succès légendaires comme Night and Day, It's De-Lovely et In the Still of the Night, s'éclaire la vie profuse, excessive et sophistiquée de Porter - notamment les relations complexes qu'il entretint avec son épouse et muse Linda Lee Porter.

This all-star experience is nothing short of a tribute to Cole Porter. The life and work of one of the 20th century's finest composers needed a light form of biographical collage, and that’s exactly what he received. The likes of Robbie Williams, Alanis Morissette, Natalie Cole, Sheryl Crow and John Barrowman did not miss their opportunity. Personalities from Porter's life pass through the scenes (L.B. Mayer, Irving Berlin) like clockwork, and those who were not touched upon are at least spoken of with respect (Marlene Dietrich). Unfortunately, the songs are interpreted in a modern arrangement and we have to go elsewhere for factual information. The reason for the loose script is the end of a life that balances but does not verify. The film's title is based on the song "It's De-Lovely," originally written for the 1936 musical "Red Hot and Blue."
