Night and Day (2-Jul-1946)

Director: Michael Curtiz

Writers: Charles Hoffman; Leo Townsend; William Bowers; Jack Moffitt

Additional Music Composed and Adapted by: Max Steiner

Producer: Arthur Schwartz

Keywords: Musical, Biography, Broadway

Biography of composer Cole Porter, one of the greatest songwriters Broadway has ever seen. Fictionalized, controversial aspects of the man are omitted, such as Porter's homosexuality, but careful viewers can read between the lines. Unfortunately the Warner studio lacked the performing talent to pull off the song and dance numbers properly. Despite this, received an Oscar nomination for Best Score of a Musical.
