hwpHello, Cole.
l let myself in.
Were not late, are we? l hate to be late.
No, were fine.
That sounded lovely.
l hate funeral music.
Though, under the circumstances,
l suppose l should say my prayers.
Why start now?
Exactly.
lf l believed in God,
he would be a song-and-dance man.
He would have to carry a tune.
Preferably one of mine.
Do you think he would like this?
In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you
You wrote that about Linda, of course.
Did l?
Songs dont have to be about
someone, you know.
We should start.
l thought we had.
Cole, you have to play us into it.
lts your life. Your music will be our guide.
Swell.
In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
Oh, my God, thats me! lm so young.
You satisfied?
Hes very good.
Hes not much of a singer.
You never were.
In the still of the night
The words, l cant hear the words.
While the world is in slumber
Whats the matter, cant he take direction?
Cole, talk to me,
lll pass your thoughts along.
He cant hear you.
ln a musical,
everyone works for the composer.
Times have changed. May l borrow this?
Times have changed
Never open with a ballad.
This isnt one of
those avant-garde things, is it?
lts got to be entertaining, its a musical.
And a love story, of course.
A little unconventional, but honest.
Youre playing with my life.
lts my show.
Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock
would land on them
In olden days
lts your life, Cole.
Was looked on something shocking
Oh, my God.
lts an opening number, of course.
lts the Berlins.
lrving, Ellin.
lrving gave me my start.
This is my whole life.
Theres Monty Woolley from Yale.
Look at Monty.
That costume is all wrong.
He never wore that.
Thats all wrong. Change it.
And blacks white today
And days night today
L. B. Mayer and the gang from MGM.
The Hollywood years.
When folks who still can ride in jitneys
found out that Vanderbilts and Whitneys
lack baby clothes
Anything goes
Boris and Jack.
Bill Wrather.
Gerald, Sara, Honoria, where are the boys?
Boys.
Anything goes
Hi, Mom.
And every night, the set thats smart
is intruding on nudist parties in studios
Anything goes
Fantastic.
So though Im not a great romancer
I know that youre bound to answer
when I propose
Anything goes
If saying your prayers you like,
if green pears you like
If old chairs you like, if backstairs you like,
If love affairs you like
Stop, this is wrong for Linda.
She should sing a different part, stop.
ls it me?
No, dear.
lts backstairs and love affairs.
lts too early for complications.
Were gonna get ready for Paris.
lf youre not in Paris, lll see you later.
Come on, move along.
Youre doing beautifully.
But then, you always do.
Remember, its your story, too.
lts a love story.
-Thats why lm frightened.
-Dont be.
Have you ever seen a musical
without a happy ending?
All right, then.
Weve just heard Anything Goes...
as if its Coles declaration of independence.
lndependence from whom?
Never mind.
Dont argue with the director, love.
Leave that to me.
Hes very strict.
She cant hear you.
l know.
Youre seeing Cole for the first time.
You start to move towards him...
because theres a spirit in his eye.
Go ahead.
Move slowly.
Youll be fine.
Werent we fools to lose each other?
Werent we fools to say goodbye?
God, she was beautiful.
She could stop your heart.
No, start it.
You chose another
So did I
If wed realized
our love was worth defending
Then the storys broken threads
we might be mending
Theyre so good, its a shame
more people arent paying attention.
Cole can take care of that.
Which one is Cole Porter?
The one whos standing, whos being
so serious about being playful...
thats my husband Gerald.
And the one whos playing at not being
serious at all, thats Cole Porter.
-Has somebody died?
-l think it was us, Cole.
-Linda Lee.
-Sara Murphy.
-We met at Lady Mendels.
-Yes, indeed.
ls that Linda Lee Thomas with Sara?
-l really couldnt say.
-No, it is, and just as they described her:
The most beautiful divorce in Paris.
My God, shes ravishing.
ls this gonna be another Porter fascination?
An obsession without preliminaries?
Obsessions dont have preliminaries.
-Will you join me?
-lm a married man.
No, come on grab a chair.
Lets really light a fire
under these deadbeats.
You begin.
I have heard, among this clan
You are called the forgotten man
Well, did you ever?
What a swell party this is
Have you heard that Mimsie Starr
just got pinched in the Astor Bar?
Well, did you ever?
What a swell party this is
Take over.
-Youre not gonna pinch her in the ass?
-l might.
Reggies rather scatterbrained
He dove in when the pool was drained
Well, did you ever?
What a swell party this is
Its great, its grand
Its wonderland
Its tops, its first
Its DuPont, its Hearst
What clothes, quel chic
What pearls, theyre the peak
What glamor, what cheer
This will simply slay you, dear
Have you heard the coast of Maine
just got hit by a hurricane?
Well, did you ever?
What a swell party this is
Have you heard
