Quite aptly titled, this one. De-Lovely, the Cole Porter biopic is wonderful — good music (of course), wonderful to look at, and I wouldn’t be surprised at an Oscar nod for Ashley Judd.
One question, though: fashions have been reaching into the past for “retro” looks for the past couple decades, with a lot of emphasis on the 70’s and 80’s. Could we please cast a little further back so that the fashions of the 30’s and 40’s would come back into style? There’s a level of class that seems to have gone missing, and I’d love to see it come back.
iTunes: “Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love)” by Morissette, Alanis from the album De-Lovely (2004, 3:21).

Hear hear. In fact, I’d be happy if we fell back to the late 1800s a la “Tombstone,” when “casual” meant a vested suit for men and a multi-layer dress for women.
