- For worthy films with Porter’s music—prior to the 1953 adaptation of Kiss Me, Kate discussed in chapter 14—one would have to turn to the original film musicals Born to Dance (1936), Rosalie (1937), and Broadway Melody of 1940, and the modern-day biopic De-Lovely (2004), the latter chock full of stylistically updated Po… Enchanted Evenings the Broadway Musical From Show Boat Block Geoffrey Oxford New, p. 239
