Between Broadway musicals, Porter continued to write for Hollywood. His film scores of this period were "You'll Never Get Rich" (1941) with Astaire and Rita Hayworth, "Something to Shout About" (1943) with Don Ameche, Janet Blair and William Gaxton, and "Mississippi Belle" (1943–44), which was abandoned before filming began. He also cooperated in the making of the film "Night and Day" (1946), a largely fictional biography of Porter, with Cary Grant implausibly cast in the lead. The critics scoffed, but the film was a huge success, chiefly because of the wealth of vintage Porter numbers in it. The biopic's success contrasted starkly with the failure of Vincente Minnelli's film "The Pirate" (1948), with Judy Garland and Gene Kelly, in which five new Porter songs received little attention.
