Night and Day
on DVD
Starring: Cary Grant, Alexis Smith
Director: Michael Curtiz
Certificate: 
I have to agree with the other reviewers - this isn't a patch of 'DeLovely' and doesn't even really work as a musical since most of the songs appear in rather throwaway moments. There's a rather melancholic atmosphere and you never feel as though you're getting under the skin of the man.
That said, even though Cary Grant lacks some of his usual spark, there is an energy to the guest cast and a few fun moments, such as the scene in the record shop when Porter plays his own music gathering the crowd. But on the whole, it's not a surprise that the Kevin Kline version of Cole in 'DeLovely' was amused by it.
Do note though that for some bizarre reason possibly to do with music publishing rights, none of the songs are subtitled which sort of misses the point if you need them, even if just to sing along.
