Remake This...
The 1953 film adaptation of the musical was received lukewarmly, having been considered the first 3D musical. "Kiss Me Kate" earned $2,011,000 both in the US and Canada as well as $1,106,000 internationally, but reviews earned mixed messages. "For the voices and the playing of Miss Grayson and Mr. Keel as the acting team who work out their own domestic squabbles in romping through Shakespeare's "Shrew" are juicy and uninhibited, the costumes and settings are fine and the performers who accompany the principals are in joyous and compatible gear," Bosley Crowther of The New York Times explained. But Variety praised "under George Sidney's skilled direction, Kate unfolds smoothly all the way as it goes back and forth from the backstage story to the play within the play and works in the numerous - and brilliant - Cole Porter tunes."

Hugh Jackman as Fred Graham (Petruchio)
