Yes impossible song to sing, but he does it perfectly. This is one of the most underrated movies ever. It was epic! Both Kline and Judd were fantastic as was the rest of the cast! For me the music is timeless, and that is true genius!
Ha Ha, not impossible at all. Actually, it is very easy. I have sung this song for years. The problem with the singers is that they don't under the meaning of the song and the message it is to convey. If you understand that, it is very easy, and, you can enlist the emotion you want to deliver to the listener and they will be moved by it.
The best movie about Cole Porter to date. Mr. Porter's beautiful songs, along with Kevin Kline, (incredible actor, any genre), Ashley Judd, the stars who sang the songs, it's just all extraordinary. Plus, so many movie "tricks". Impressive!
De Lovely! This is a vastly underrated movie. Perfect acting Gorgeous sets, costumes, incomparable Cole Porter music - flawless Ashley Judd and Kevin Klein - and the incredible guest star music performers! Elvis Costello, Robbie Williams, Cheryl Crow, Alanis Morisette, Natalie Coke .... what in the hell more can you ask for!?!?
I agree. I don't understand why Kline and Judd didn't get more recognition for their incredible performances. And all of the singers were outstanding, Porter would've been knocked out. Great film.
I first fell in love with John Barrowman through my life long love of musical theater. Now being a massive Doctor Who fan, I just fell in to giggles realizing John's role in this is named Jack. hehe!
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom When the jungle shadows fall Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock As it stands against the wall Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops When the summer shower is through So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you Night and day, you are the one Only you beneath the moon AND under the sun Whether near to me, or far It's no matter darling where you are I think of you NIGHT AND DAY, DAY AND NIGHT, why is it so That this longing for you follows wherever I go In the roaring traffic's boom In the silence of my lonely room I think of you NIGHT AND DAY, NIGHT AND DAY Under the hide of me There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me And ITS torment won't be through 'TIL you let me spend my life making love to you Day and night, night and day
John Barrowman's character is named Jack. I'm laughing my head off right now. I first knew him as Captain Jack Harkness and then years later realized he could sing Man of LaMancha.
Of COURSE Mr. John Barrowman can sing this song with its highs and lows. (Nice fake-out John...pretending you could not hit those low notes...) Love this scene from a truly great movie. Love John Barrowman's album singing Cole Porter tunes--I bought 4 CDs to put in my home, my car, ski house, sister, etc.
This was the first thing I ever saw JB in. I eventually became a doctor who/torchwood fan and then put two and two together the next time I watched the DVD lol
FABULOUS....The stunning music from Cole Porter and the wonderful wonderful actors made this one of the best films ever. THANK YOU for posting this magic.
Fred Astaire was way better in the film Gay Divorcee with Ginger Rodgers.Cole Poter was also on the set off that film because Astaire was having difficulty with the song and he told him he had wrote it with him in mind.I really like Barrymore a lot but Kevin Kline has never all his career the recognition he truly deserves,a great actor playing it straight or comedy and unfortunately that as in so many cases will never happen until he is no longer here to grace the screen.
The 1946 "Night & Day" was a more fictional "Hollywood" version, however it was musically more entertaining with a better tribute to Cole Porter's masterful music (with the help of singer Ginny Simms). Honestly, it's really not fair to compare a drama to a musical......both were very good films.
He wrote the song a decade before he ever worked with Cary Grant, it was actually Fred Astaire who first sang it in a completely different musical (which is why the director was like you should have gotten Astaire).

captain jack harkness playing in a musical in the 1930s. that's exactly what he would do lmaoo
Cannot but address the unfairness of comparing performances of songs written for stage productions with later versions arranged and orchestrated for the Bing Crosbys, the Sinatras, Sammy Davis jrs., the Jack Jones; Matt Monros; John Garys; Rod Stewarts; the Sarah Vaughns, Doris Days, Rosemary Clooneys, etc. The latter studio versions for popular audiences belong to an entirely different genre. Those familiar with the originals ("People Will Say We're in Love"; "I Could Write a Book"; "Bewitched"; "They Say It's Wonderful", "Mack the Knife"; "Hello Young Lovers"; "Hey, There"; "Being Alive"; "Bring in the Clowns" or "What I Did for Love"; etc.) hold the recollection most dearly but will not at all mind the interpretation by the newer folk.
It's terrible, just terrible. BUT I love it because Kevin and that other guy sing it to each other for a few, precious, gay moments, and it's lovely and adorable. I dislike the note-slides that no one knows how to sing without, but Kevin Kline is terrific as Cole. Though I must admit that, during the duet, I tried to imagine Cary's face superimposed on Kevin's. No matter, a glorious, comical gay love duet by Cole Porter!
That's so funny when he says "I told you, we should have given it to Astaire." Fred Astaire basically owned that song and introduced it in The Gay Divorcee in 1932 (and the film version from 1934, where he sings it and then dances with Ginger Rodgers).
I always assumed Barrowman's character was inserted and given the song because Astaire had a clause in his will saying no one was allowed to portray him onscreen. The song was so closely associated with him and he made it so popular; his last stage musical The Gay Divorce was known by fans as 'The Night and Day Show'.
@@fionatsang9353 According to the wikipedia page, the clause in the will "requests" that there be no film portrayals, but I really wonder if it's legally binding in some way. I thought they put Barrowman in there because the producers had a connection to him and wanted to use him, and also because they wanted to tie into the romance angle between him and Porter somehow (which you couldn't do with Astaire since there was no such link with him).
@@premanadi it's possible that Barrowman's character was intended from the beginning to serve the plot. From what I can tell the 'clause' in the will might not be legally binding and was actually a 'request'; but no one has gone against Fred's wishes yet. He was adamant that he should be judged on his filmed legacy alone, and any attempt to interpret his personality or his life would inevitably get it wrong (which was I think his typically-modest way of saying 'they'll think I'm greater than I really am). Apparently Ginger Rogers was not pleased, as it made it difficult to make a biopic about her if Fred couldn't be included. If anyone is going to enforce Fred's request, it would be his widow Robin; she controls Fred's footage with such an iron grip, his own daughter wasn't able to get permission to use it in a tribute she had planned.
I was glad that I was sitting in the movie theater watching this scene because if I were standing up, I'd be swooning away in pure delight! First time I ever heard Barrowman sing! I fell in love at that very moment!
so he can sing the song after all. All it took was the composer touching him on the chest, and the accompanist spontaneously changing the key. omg Barrowman is an AWWWWWWWWWWWWWFUL singer.
Fantastic song, singing and film. Not many people have sung this song (I found Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Fred Astaire. No mor could I find on the net and none of them although Ella good, sand it as well as Jon Barrowman. and never

I totally agree.
I totally agree. One of the best movies of the new century.
One of my favorites
So right. My favourite Cole Porter song and I just love Cole porter.
The best movie about Cole Porter to date. Mr. Porter's beautiful songs, along with Kevin Kline, (incredible actor, any genre), Ashley Judd, the stars who sang the songs, it's just all extraordinary. Plus, so many movie "tricks". Impressive!
Cole was a genius.
Best songwriter ever
Underrated Movie about Cole Porter. The music is beautiful
De Lovely! This is a vastly underrated movie. Perfect acting Gorgeous sets, costumes, incomparable Cole Porter music - flawless Ashley Judd and Kevin Klein - and the incredible guest star music performers!

This movie ❤❤❤❤
Don't forget John Barrowman
Narrative coherence. Character development.
Omg,I just love Kevin Klein in this movie!!!! He looks so intense while instructing the song.
This my favourite love song, I know there hundreds but this one says it all .
Seen this movie a few times and cryed. Good move. Great songs!
The movie was not type to watch. But I could not look away. Then I discovered the music and I was even more hooked . Cole Porter was a genius !
Always one of my favourite film intepretations about wonderful Cole Porter.
I first fell in love with John Barrowman through my life long love of musical theater. Now being a massive Doctor Who fan, I just fell in to giggles realizing John's role in this is named Jack. hehe!
Same
Someone could tell me this is Captain Jack, right here, starring in a Cole Porter musical - and I wouldn't question it. 😂
God I love John Barrowman's voice!
One of the greatest songs
The camera work in this video is absolutely amazing.
Perfect description of the challenge of the song - plus, Barrowman great in first 'getting it wrong' and then 'getting it right'
One of my favorite scenes!!!
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon AND under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
NIGHT AND DAY, DAY AND NIGHT, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
NIGHT AND DAY, NIGHT AND DAY
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And ITS torment won't be through
'TIL you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Barrowman is great of course, but Kevin Kline is a seriously underrated actor. He was fantastic in this!
I'm just surprised that a classy actor like Kevin Kline is a regular on Bob's burgers.
I agree, he is underrated, as and actor and singer.
Kline is great in everything he does. As is Ashley Judd! And yes, these two are extremely underrated. Fine film.
He lives near me and he is still married to Phoebe Cates.
Jane Poultney are they nice people? Because some actors aren’t generally too nice to ordinary ppl like us.
John Barrowman makes my heart swoon.
I love everything about this movie!
If this movie will to make a rerun in cinemas I will definitely rewatch it again…. Fantastic movie and cast however is vastly underrated
All I could think whilst listening to this (after the advice) was John thinking of Scott and I melted xxxx
Yes!! I thought the same thing!!
Same
Es la mejor canción de Cole Porter !!! Brevísimo 👏👏👏👏👏😘
Gran escena. Sin cortes en una toma llenan el teatro se cambian los actores logrando que pase el tiempo sin cortes de edición. Fantastico!
I do believe John's character gets to "thank" Cole Porter after the performance. Nothing graphic, but the implication left me breathless!
God I love that song!
I got chills.
John Barrowman the most perfect human being! This was the first time I saw him too. How not to fall completely for him?
I met him at a convention a few years ago, he smelled nice too.
He did the singer in "Springtime for Hitler"
@@janecz In the filmed musical remake, did he also do it on Broadway when it opened there?
@@PaulZink I don't know...
John Barrowman's character is named Jack. I'm laughing my head off right now. I first knew him as Captain Jack Harkness and then years later realized he could sing Man of LaMancha.
Absolutely mesmerizing.
My favorite movie of all time!!!!
Me fascina está película, la he visto como 8 veces, es hermosa.
Hola cual es el titulo del film? Soy admiradora de Cole Porter!
Great movie, Ashley Judd was epic.
Yes. She is magnificent! 😍👍
Of COURSE Mr. John Barrowman can sing this song with its highs and lows. (Nice fake-out John...pretending you could not hit those low notes...) Love this scene from a truly great movie. Love John Barrowman's album singing Cole Porter tunes--I bought 4 CDs to put in my home, my car, ski house, sister, etc.
Awesome absolutely Great and Lovely
[[[ From Brazil with Love ]]]
Esa película en la Teco la compra y casi cada semana la veo me gusta mucho la vida de Call Porter y linda es muy bonita
This was the first thing I ever saw JB in. I eventually became a doctor who/torchwood fan and then put two and two together the next time I watched the DVD lol
Wow this is Perfect! a Master Piece!
É impossível, eu não consigo cantar isso ! - Pode, ouça e cante comigo!
I love him in this. He really is great. Barrowman is nice. too
FABULOUS....The stunning music from Cole Porter and the wonderful wonderful actors made this one of the best films ever.
THANK YOU for posting this magic.
A point of fact the song was written by Cole Porter for Fred Astaire to accommodate Astaire's limited vocal range.
Um dos maiores gênios que surgiu na música. Impossível comparar com outros musicos. Talento nato.
John, you are freaky, scary talented. Yeah, like you need me to tell you.
Watch the 1946 version NIGHT and DAY starring Cary Grant and you will think this version of the song is lacking.
0:22 I this is just how I feel when I try to sing John Barrowman's songs.
Lovely!
❤ exellentissime

To my husband.. I love you.. Forever your wife Pinky xoxoxoxo
@ Amanda Ryan, your husband is a very fortunate fella.
Great scene. Cole Porter wrote this song when he was crushing on Cary Grant.
He wrote the song a decade before he ever worked with Cary Grant, it was actually Fred Astaire who first sang it in a completely different musical (which is why the director was like you should have gotten Astaire).
captain jack harkness playing in a musical in the 1930s. that's exactly what he would do lmaoo
i love his voice! Does John Barrowman have a big role in the movie? I haven't watch it yet.
He has a short scene after this one and that’s it
Malcom Merlin has a fantastic voice
John Barrowman is also a great singer, listen to his songs :)
👌
0:23 whenever i have an intrusive stupid thought popping up in my head.
Lmfao “it’s so low” well I guess the Key change up certainly helped…
Why do I remember James Marsden in this role?
01:41
Ella sang this song better than any man.
Is the vocal pitch range greater than two octaves? Anything within that range should not be too difficult.
he looks like hugh grant
Cannot but address the unfairness of comparing performances of songs written for stage productions with later versions arranged and orchestrated for the Bing Crosbys, the Sinatras, Sammy Davis jrs., the Jack Jones; Matt Monros; John Garys; Rod Stewarts; the Sarah Vaughns, Doris Days, Rosemary Clooneys, etc.

FFS, people "know how" to sing it without the half note slides, they choose not to because that's literally the way it was written.
Fantastic movie, cast, costumes and lyrics. Ashley Judd was gorgeous and Vivian Greene rendition of “love for sale” was amazing😍

@@fionatsang9353 Thanks, very interesting.
He's right, is a very difficult song. I bet it was a challenge for him no to sing the way he does it normally.
Possibly one of the most erotically charged moments without removing a single article of clothing…..
John Barrowman was excellent as Jack (Cassidy? maybe. . .) Kevin Kline was sublime. Love this film!
No not...JACK HARKNESS!!!!😉😉
I was glad that I was sitting in the movie theater watching this scene because if I were standing up, I'd be swooning away in pure delight! First time I ever heard Barrowman sing! I fell in love at that very moment!
LOVE'S 24 hour obsession crafted into a Singular
Passionate SONG!
My favorite song since my
teenage years! ♥️
This is the best version of this classic song yet
yes, it captures the patience and angst that most do not
Well, Barrowman.
The temptations did a better job
PLEASE listen to Ella Fitzgeralds version 💖🎶
Such a great song!
It's a bit like "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. It's about obsession.
I never thought about it before. There is a seamless switching of the scenes. Impressive.
so he can sing the song after all. All it took was the composer touching him on the chest, and the accompanist spontaneously changing the key.
omg Barrowman is an AWWWWWWWWWWWWWFUL singer.
John Barrowman is, as many people know, a legend in the UK. Renditions such as this one are why.
And playing Capt Jack on Doctor Who and Torchwood
Fantastic song, singing and film. Not many people have sung this song (I found Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Fred Astaire. No mor could I find on the net and none of them although Ella good, sand it as well as Jon Barrowman. and never
Some talents just need a manager that really cares about of them
I love Diana Krall’s cover of this.
Yes, she's amazing. Natalie Cole, Alanis Morisette and Diana, were my personal faves.
Esse filme marcou minha vida. Gratidão
Fabulous intro..a favorite since the beginning of existence!.. emotionally uplifting passionately. Everything complete... very nice thanks for sharing
One camera, one shot, no editing. AMAZING!
Me 20 years later… Jack from Dr. Who?! 😱😱
雖然喉音重了一點,但能感受到一股懷舊氣氛 !
Brings tears to my eyes.
De lovely masterpiece 🤘🤘🤘
What happened to fantastic..engraved on the brain..to the grave music....nothing in this dire 21st century...zero...zilch...Fuck all.
No,I think that's it for him. But the movie is great!
I can not imagine him without a dress. Thanks Wild Wild West!
Who doesn't love Cole Porter lyrics?
Is this a movie or tv show Whats is it called
Dezlerredarrow Harperharkeens It is a clip from the Cole Porter Biopic called “De Lovely” released in 2004.
