Review of Kiss Me Kate

Kiss Me Kate (1953)
7/10
While I love Shakespeare, I dislike...

Warning: Spoilers
Divide this film into three basic components:

1. GOOD - Song and dance routines. Showcasing some very talented dancers.

2. BAD - Actors portraying actors. My #1 pet peeve in "entertainment". Feels so self-indulgent. (I also dislike films set in the film industry for the same reason.)

3. GOOD - Musical version of "Taming of the Shrew". Overall, it's very pleasant to watch. Even if Shakespeare's English eludes most current-day audience members, the production still clearly conveys its meaning.
