coyote-8's rating
The movie is basically an enactment of You're the Top. In fact, it's YTT meets All That Jazz, with Jonathan Pryce's "Gabe" playing Jessica Lange's Angelique. In YTT, Porter's friends describe his life, both the highs and lows; here we see them. The movie goes farther than YTT, though, in that it also depicts his marriage--with *it's* highs and lows--and explains it.
I find Porter's lyrics to be among the cleverest I've ever had the pleasure to hear or read. And I'll listen to or go see almost anything dealing with his life and work. That said, I recommend the movie to anyone who is as big a fan of Porter as I am, but I won't see it twice. But I'm glad I saw it once.
