One of Broadway’s most brilliant songwriters, Cole Porter (1891-1964) worked hard to present 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 pain 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 odd that 1940s Hollywood would attempt a biography.
What they did, of course, was fictionalize it to the max, reducing the story of his life to a mix of backstage musical and domestic drama–and transforming the tiny and waspish Porter and his icy bride Linda into handsome Cary Grant and lovely 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 entertaining enough to watch.
Grant is no singer, but he has considerable charm, and Smith is as always extremely attractive. The supporting cast is remarkably strong, featuring the likes of Jane Wyman, Eve Arden, Dorothy Malone, and Alan Hale–and rare screen appearances by Monty Woolley and Mary Martin, who deliver 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 amusing. While it may be short on fact with a story little more than pure melodrama, the music and performers make NIGHT AND DAY a reasonably pleasant way to spend a rainy afternoon.
GFT, Amazon Reviewer
“Night & Day” is a wonderful musical, a beautiful 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 look 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 love story is completely and utterly fabricated, although it is “cute” and a nice sub-plot to the film.
The real driving force of the film is definitely the sets, the music, and Grant himself. This is definitely an entertaining fantasy, and I highly recommend it for film buffs, especially those that love Cary Grant.
The new DVD is nicely put together, and it includes a series of Cole Porter trailers, a Dezi Arnez music number, a musical short, and even a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
