Kiss Me Kate (1953) (original) (raw)

When two squabbling formerly married actors are cast as squabbling Renaissance romantics in a musical based on The Taming Of The Shrew, life imitates art, and art imitates life. Thrown in a pompous U.S. Army general and a pair of song-and-dance gangsters trying to collect on a gambling debt, and the result is backstage chaos -- with a musical flair.
