Night and Day

Night and Day (1946) chronicles the meteoric rise of struggling songwriter Cole Porter, who finds solace and inspiration in the chaos of World War I. Injured and hospitalized, Porter catches the eye of nurse Linda Lee, but their relationship is deferred by the exigencies of war and a return to New York, where his musical talents flourish. As Porter's career ascends, his return to Europe sees him wedded to Linda, yet the film charts the dissonance between his professional triumphs and personal turmoil, including marital strife and familial grief.
