De-lovely (PG) 125 mins"A love that would never die and music that would live forever"
"Porter floated effortlessly for a time between worlds: Gay and straight, Europe and America, Broadway and Hollywood, show biz and high society. He had a lifelong love affair with his wife, and lifelong love affairs without his wife. He thrived, it seemed, on a lifestyle that would have destroyed other men (and was, in fact, illegal in most of the places that he lived), and all the time he wrote those magical songs. Then a horse fell down and crushed his legs, and he spent 27 years in pain. And still he wrote those magical songs." Roger Ebert This new biopic stars Kevin Kline as Porter and Ashley Judd as his long-suffering wife. The story is told through the eyes of a dead Cole, watching the events of his life unfold in front of him on a stage. Song and dance numbers are interspersed throughout the film, with notable music talents like Alanis Morissette, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall, Sheryl Crow, and Robbie Williams handling the vocals for such hits as 'Let's Misbehave' and 'It's De-Lovely'.
