A few of us lingered in the theatre as the last credits rolled, and then I wanted to rush out and buy a Cole Porter Song Book! The story avoids his real life predilection for rough sex when he and Monte would go out on the town for a "f.....ing" night. Although I found the actors believable, especially Ashley Judd, something is missing. I wonder what another director would have done with this story. The jumping back and forth between old Cole and the making of the musical didn't work for me. And too much editing. But those songs are worth the price of admission. I enjoyed Morrissette, and the scene between Porter and the actor who didn't want to sing "Night and Day" was especially powerful.
