...songs by Cole Porter. Since At Long Last Love has been universally panned, and the theaters it shows at are generally empty, the suckers sitting in the audience can lessen the pain somewhat by singing along with "You're the Top." "Lot's Misbehave" and other Porter masterpieces. The plot is a typical romantic quadrangle between Shepherd, 'Reynolds, Kahn and a stereotyped greasy Italian gambler played by Diullio del Prete. They cavort between two hotel rooms, one mansion, several parks, two formal dances, one race course, a plethora of white Rolls Royces and the Lord and Taylor Ladies Room. Eventually...

The plot was soon discovered and Lucretia. Beatrice, and her brother Giacomo were beheaded after Pops Clement VII deed their-piers for pardon...
...uses are simple and conversational, there are no elusive metaphors or philosophical musings in his script. The set is almost monochromatic and completely uncluttered, the few props seem commonplace. But your attention focuses unexpectedly on these everyday objects and conversations as they gradually take on a bizarre importance: the plot hardly adds to the intrigue. Certain words and objects make the play, the way a one-dimensional black line lends form to Picasso's etchings, without the help of shadow or color...
