About this product

Product Information

Directed by Irwin Winkler, DE-LOVELY depicts the life of the great American composer Cole Porter (Kevin Kline). Despite his sexual preference for men, Porter found inspiration and virtually unconditional love with Linda Lee (Ashley Judd). Told in flashback as Porter is near death, the film follows the Porters' fabulous, unconventional relationship from their meeting in Paris to their subsequent moves to Venice, New York, Hollywood, and Williamstown, as well as the many stops along the way. Kline perfectly captures the Porters' zest for life and seemingly inexhaustible need for love. Classic tunes such as Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love, Let's Misbehave, and Anything Goes take on whole new meanings when considered in the context of Porter and Lee's life together. Contemporary musical performers, including Alanis Morissette, Natalie Cole, Robbie Williams, Elvis Costello, and Sheryl Crow, appear in the film singing Porter standards, a device that works surprisingly well.

  • Fabulous

    This is surely one of the best musical movies of all time. The story is rich and true, the characters complex but engaging, the sets and music are wonderful (Cole Porter - what else could they be?), the costumes spot on, and the acting deeply tender and valid. So excellent. It's a keeper.

  • I enjoyed hearing so many great C.P. tunes. And the Ethel Merman gal was certainly special -- if only briefly . A necessity for a real Porter fan!

    I enjoyed hearing so many great Cole Porter tunes. And the Ethel Merman gal was certainly special -- if only briefly. The story of his life was at times sad, but true and not sugar coated. A necessity for a real Cole Porter fan!

  • A love story with sad ending.

    This is such an love story. The music is very good but the song composer's life is a mess. I really feel sorry for him. I guess that means the movie is done very well.

  • De-Lovely is Delightful!

    The romance, costumes and scenery, the actors, and especially the MUSIC! 🎼 It was often a bit sad, as life can be, maybe that’s the price for being SO talented! There is love, genuine love, but also hurtful behavior that tortures precious love, until its last breath. Love the music, makes me glad I’m alive.😊

  • Great writing, acting, and always wonderful music!

    The actors' endeavors to portray a true-to-life story were excellent, especially the makeup for Kevin Kline. The biographical rendition was well composed and entertainingly clever, with the original music of the past. I learned to dance with my father playing those recordings, and the nostalgia is welcome.

  • Good Cole Porter Bio

    An okay bio of the great Cole Porter. Disappointing in spots (the focus on his "gayness") but the music was fantastic.

  • Awesome Bio Pic

    Bio pics are great when they are fairly true to the facts. To my knowledge, this movie fits the life of Cole Porter as closely as possible.
