Feb 14, 2008
Rating: 3/5 -- The theatrical antics are a bit forced and the musical numbers aren't the best in the history of musical cinema, but this still stands as an 'important' film of its era, albeit a minor and relatively forgettable one.

Rating: 5/5 -- One of the all-time best movie musicals, with Fosse choreography and Porter's vunderbar music.

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

Rating: 4/5 -- The picture's brio is quaint and disarming, for the most part getting its laughs when it needs them. Full Review

Product Description:

Not to be confused with the 1953 KISS ME KATE - the big screen feature directed by George Sidney with assist from Bob Fosse - this 1958 television production actually constitutes a filmed version of the original stage play, loose adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew by Sam Spewack, Bella Spewack and Cole Porter. The cast includes Patricia Morison , Bill Hayes, Julie Wilson and Alfred Drake. George Schaefer served as producer and director, Franz Allers handled musical direction and Ernest Flatt did the choreography. This was originally telecast on November 20, 1958 as part of the HALLMARK HALL OF FAME showcase.
