Cole Porter
Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 – October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter.
Many of his songs became standards noted for their witty, urbane lyrics, and many of his scores found success on Broadway and in film.
Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, Porter defied his grandfather's wishes and took up music as a profession.
Classically trained, he was drawn to musical theatre.
After a slow start, he began to achieve success in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Broadway musical stage.
Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote the lyrics as well as the music for his songs.
After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work.
His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and '30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, "Kiss Me, Kate".
It won the first Tony Award for Best Musical.
Porter's other musicals include "Fifty Million
FrenchmenDuBarry Was a LadyAnything GoesCan
-Can" and "Silk Stockings".
His numerous hit songs include "Night and DayBegin
the BeguineI Get a Kick Out of YouWell
, Did You Evah!I've Got You Under My SkinMy Heart Belongs to Daddy" and
"You're the Top".
He also composed scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including "Born to Dance" (1936), which featured the song "
You'd Be So Easy to LoveRosalie" (1937), which featured "In the Still of the NightHigh Society" (1956), which included "True Love"; and "Les Girls" (1957).
Kiss Me Kate (film)
Kiss
Me Kate is a 1953 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name.
Inspired by "The Taming of the Shrew", it tells the tale of musical theater actors Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi, who were once married, and are now performing opposite each other in the roles of Petruchio and Katherine in a Broadway-bound musical version of William Shakespeare's play.
Already on poor terms, the pair begin an all-out emotional war mid-performance that threatens the production's success.
The only thing keeping the show together are threats from a pair of gangsters, who have come to collect a gambling debt from the show's Lucentio, Bill Calhoun.
In classic musical comedy fashion, slapstick madness ensues before everything is resolved.
Dorothy Kingsley's screenplay, which was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award, was adapted from the musical's book by Bella and Samuel Spewack.
The songs were by Cole Porter, with musical underscoring by Saul Chaplin and André Previn, who were nominated for an Oscar.
Hermes Pan choreographed the dance routines.
The movie was filmed in 3-D, using the most advanced methods of that technique then available.
Devotees of the stereoscopic 3-D medium usually cite this film as one of the best examples of a Hollywood release in polarized 3D.
