Kiss Me Kate Movie Review 1953

A married couple can't separate their real lives from their stage roles in this musical-comedy screen adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew," based on Cole Porter's Broadway show. Bob Fosse bursts from the screen--particularly if you see the 3-D version--when he does his dance number.
