Tjonas, your comments about the gay subtext in Night and Day were very astute. I just finished watching it on TCM and came here to comment, but you said just about everything I was thinking-- and a lot better than I would have said it! I wish you would see DeLovely and come back and post some comments... I'd be very interested in your take on it. I love Kevin Kline and he does a wonderful job. Ashley Judd is exquisitely beautiful, like a young, healthy, sober, radiant Ava Gardner.
I have a 33 1/3 record album from the 40's with Ginny Sims singing all the Cole Porter numbers that she does in the movie and more. I listened to that record hundreds of times when I was a teenager-- know EVERY word and inflection by heart. It was a treat to watch her singing. She had the perfect 1940's face (not 1920's, though).
