He performed it again in the 1934 film version of the show, renamed The Gay Divorcee, and it became one of his signature pieces.There are several accounts on how he got inspiration to compose the song. One mentioning that he was inspired by Islamic prayer when he visited Morocco. Another popular legend has it he was inspired by the Moorish architecture of the Alcazar Hotel in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.The song was so associated with Porter, that when Hollywood first filmed his life story in 1946, the movie was entitled Night and Day." .
