I grew up with the music of Cole Porter... and can sing most of the songs!
When the movie came out, I went to see it along with two friends. The experience had us all going through the full spectrum of emotions... Why the film was snubbed by the academy is beyond me: the acting is great, the photography is super, the reasearch is beyond the normal Hollywood surface scratching, and make up deserves a whole new award!
Seeing all the extras on the Special Edition DVD made the movie even more enjoyable. I had seen it twice already and had missed the subtilities of the "Love For Sale" scene...so I went back and watched it again... Wonderful!!!
Music Lovers, Romantics, Historians... get this DVD! It is worth every penny and should be in everyone's collection.
