Synopsis: The fictionalized biography of composer Cole Porter from his days at Yale in the 1910s through the height of his success to the 1940s. The film’s attempted biography matches many public myths surrounding Cole at the time, despite its lack of relationship with truth. For instance, truth and movie are different in regards to: his sex life (he was a gay man in a marriage of convenience with a divorcee friend), his relationship with his wife, Monty Wooley was a contemporary (not Professor), and his French military experience was a hoax.

Release Date: August 3, 1946 (USA) | Length: 128 min | Genre: Biography, Drama, Musical | Certificate: Approved

Note: Not able to identify Armba Dandridge. Charles Muse is generically credited as being the porter even though he is called Caleb by Mrs Porter twice during the film.
