Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
A little weak in acting at first, but warms up nicely. Quite entertaining. And even more welcoming in 3D.

The picture's brio is quaint and disarming, for the most part getting its laughs when it needs them.

...Kiss Me Kate had nothing on Singin' in the Rain.

Rating: 9/10 --
Thanks to the genius of George Sidney at the helm, there's never a dull moment nor a single instance of a song or dance simply shoehorned in with no bearing on the story. So brush up your Porter if you must have a background before seeing this, and go!

Compuserve
Cole Porter's Broadway musical (via Shakespeare) has been toned down for the screen, but the songs are as wonderful as ever.

A mostly zippy showbiz paean.

Description by OLDIES.com:
When two squabbling ex-marrieds are cast as squabbling Renaissance romantics in a musical The Taming of the Shrew, life imitates art, art imitates life - and it all proves no musical comedy imitates Kiss Me Kate, the backstage/onstage delight from the 1948 Broadway smash and featuring 14 peerless Cole Porter songs. Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson are the tangled twosome so in love despite her "I hate men" flashpoints.
Product Description:
This Cole Porter hit based on the Shakespeare play "The Taming of the Shrew" features such hits as "So in Love" and "Always True to You in My Fashion." Academy Award Nominations: Best Scoring of a Musical Picture.
