Night and Day (1946)
Verfijnd en elegant. Stijlvol en smaakvol. Cole Porter was een van de beste songschrijvers van de twintigste eeuw. Wie zou hem beter op het witte doek kunnen vertolken dan de aimabele Hollywoodster Cary Grant, nog een Amerikaans icoon van stijl en elegantie. Deze fantasierijke biografische film was trouwens Grants eerste kleurenfilm. Alexis Smith speelt de rol van Linda, met wie hij na enkele gelukkige ontmoetingen in het huwelijksbootje stapt. Dit levensverhaal vol triomfen en tragiek wordt uiteraard opgeluisterd met een twintigtal onsterfelijke Porter-melodieën, sommige gezongen door Grant zelf, zoals You're the Top, Night and Day e.a. Monty Woolley, een tijdgenoot van Porter uit diens Yale-tijd, speelt zichzelf. Jane Wyman, Mary Martin, Eve Arden en anderen zorgen voor zinderend zangtalent en vocaal vuurwerk. Night and Day is een waarlijk tijdloze klassieker met evergreens waarvan u eindeloos kunt genieten...letterlijk tijdens nacht en dag!
