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).
OscarÂ(r)
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
thanglamorous 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.
