Let's Face It 1941



I love Cole Porter. Especially on the record player. When I think of the music of the 30's and 40's, I think of Cole Porter. Once again, Danny Kaye is up to his old tricks. Well, the tricks were kind of new at this point. He was just starting to become a star. He had two specialty songs (that Porter did not write) in the show. One of them being, Medoly in 4F. It's weird. I don't know what else to say about it. I think you had to be there. The rest of the songs are lovely, funny, and quirky. They don't seem to further the plot that much, but who cares. The country was at war and people needed to be entertained. This did it. Overall grade: C+
