Sinopsis

Biografía del legendario compositor americano Cole Porter, un icono de la música del siglo XX cuyo esplendor coincidió con la época dorada de Hollywood. En 1964, a punto de morir, toca al piano una melodía melancólica y familiar que lo lleva a evocar el pasado: recuerda las personas y los hechos más importantes de su vida, sobre todo, la profunda y compleja relación con su esposa y musa, Linda Lee Porter. 

 

 

De-Lovely is an original musical portrait of American composer Cole Porter, filled with his unforgettable songs. In the film, Porter is looking back on his life as if it was one of his spectacular stage shows, with the people and events of his life becoming the actors and action onstage. Through elaborate production numbers and popular hits like "Anything Goes," "It's De-Lovely," and "Night and Day," Porter's elegant, excessive past comes to light - including his deeply complicated relationship with his wife and muse, Linda Lee Porter.
