I DVRed this when it came on the other day on TCM, but it cut off the last 8 minutes. What happened between when he was listening to Begin the Beguine in his hospital bed to this part? Anything important?

[vebatelli]

I'm not sure, but I guess nothing important happened in this part... otherwise I should remember it.

@ashleyg325 There is nothing like Cole Porter music. Absolutely beautiful! Could never tire from it

[girllovesmonkees]

If I could "Like" this a million times I would.

One of the best endings in a movie EVER!

I cry every time... which is a good thing... :)

The music Porter created is just captivating!

Everyone should see this movie, seriously!

@Videobarbs An actor's career could be over if the studios knew they were gay in the 40's. Various 'beards' were invented for actors the studios worried about. As you noted, Linda and Cole were genuinely in love with one another--something between siblings and marital love without the sex. Plus having a wife, of course, protected him from slander. He had his flings and she was aware of them And, of course, he is American's greatest song composer.

@Videobarbs You're on the money! Take away gay artists & 1/2 of popular song, dance, movies etc wouldn't exist. So I hope those Rep.'s r sitting up & taking notice of immortal fact!! Grant version of P.'s life was pure fantasy--but enjoyably so. Of course it could not mention that P. was gay in '45. The Kline version was good--if somewhat disjointed--& Kline didn't look remotely like Porter. I also thought it would go further with the sexual thing--ie Porter in bed w a man.

@RickChalek Ha, ha--thanks for the wit!! I was in a 46 song revue of Porter here in Santa Fe this summer. Musicals are a lot of work and this one was no different--but real achievement--I got to sing "You Don't Know Paris", "From this Moment On' "At Long Last Love" among others with a cast of 13.

Divine song. Of course, there is little truthfulness in the film--Porter's gayness could not be mentioned at that time, of course. When Porter saw the final film he LOVED it---which will tell u that the man loved a fairy tale--especially one of himself.  The whole shooting was a nightmare for all concerned--Grant's OCD went haywire regarding the set. BUT what counts is always what's on film, right? It's an enjoyable, tune filled bio (I got to sing in a 46 song revue of P.'s life in Santa Fe)

One of Cole Porter's best ever songs. Truly beautifully cleaver lyrics and the melody is just totally sublime.

@ZelphKinderhook Your thoughts on this matter aren't valid. There's no doubt you engage in deviant behavior and should refrain from public discourse of any kind. With every word you spew filth and venom, which is a symptom of an unclean spirit. Continue on this path and you'll suffer the same fate as all those before you throughout history.

"outing a dead celebrity"... Oh, puh-lease! It's been long known that Cole Porter was gay. Get over it!

"serves the reader no benefit"... Really? There's the distinct benefit of recognizing the contributions of LGBT's (lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender).

"spread the suggestion of sodomy through any means"... Why do YOU care what anyone does in their own bed?

YOUR unnecessary comment has now been identified as such. You're also ridiculous and pathetic.

[20alphabet]

@RickChalek And that's important... why? Your outing a dead celebrity serves the reader no benefit. Or maybe your purpose isn't to benefit anyone but only to spread the suggestion of sodomy through any means. Either way your unnecessary comment has now been identified as such.
