Cole Porter (Kevin Kline), composer of some of the greatest songs of the twentieth century, is brought brilliantly to life in this "sparkling celebration of Porter's musical genius" (American Cinematheque)!

"The most unusual and enchanting musical in years" (Roger Ebert), this cinematic ode to legendary composer Cole Porter is at once buoyantly fun and "heartbreakingly beautiful" (Liz Smith). Oscar® winner* Kevin Kline (The Ice Storm) is "perfection" (Rolling Stone) as the elegant and deeply complex Porter in a film that offers "knockout performances" (Gene Shalit) from Natalie Cole, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Diana Krall, Alanis Morissette and Robbie Williams, and "melancholy, wit and style to burn" (The Philadelphia Inquirer)!

From Paris to Venice to Broadway to Hollywood, the lives of Cole (Kline) and Linda (Ashley Judd) Porter were never less than glamorous and wildly unconventional. Though Cole's thirst for life strained their marriage, Linda never stopped being his muse, inspiring some of the greatest songs of the twentieth century.

    Review:
    The era that Porter belonged to was one often of excess but also of secrecy, the sets are often lavish and sumptuous and the overall theme was one of a celebration of Porter's music and life and the journey this took him on. It is a sublime trip to watch and one well worth taking.
