A 1948 musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter and book by Sam and Bella Spewack, Kiss Me, Kate was an answer to Oklahoma! in that the music advanced the plot. It also won the first Tony Award for Best Musical (along with four other Tonys).It's Baltimore, post-World War II. High-minded actor Fred Graham is trying out his musical version of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, starring as Petruchio opposite his ex-wife Lilli Vanessi in the title role ("Another Op'nin', Another Show"). Fellow actress Lois Lane (Bianca) laments the behavior of chronic gambler Bill Calhoun (Lucentio), as Bill has signed Fred's name to a large gambling debt ("Why Can't You Behave?"). Fred and Lilli reminisce about old times ("Wunderbar"), but soon start to argue. Lilli realizes she still loves Fred ("So in Love"), and when a bouquet of flowers from Fred (actually intended for Lois) arrives in her dressing room, she rejoices even more. The show opens with Fred, Lilli, Bill, and Lois onstage ("We Open in Venice"), and continues with numbers by Lois and Bill ("Tom, Dick, or Harry"), Fred ("I've Come to Wive it Wealthily in Padua") and Lilli ("I Hate Men"). But things start to go awry when Lilli reads the note included with the bouquet, acting out onstage and forcing Fred to take matters into his own hands. By spanking her in front of the audience.Meanwhile, backstage, Fred is approached by two thugs who come to collect the IOU Bill signed Fred's name to. To stop Lilli from quitting the show, Fred tells the two men he can only pay their boss the money with the profits from the night's performance. In between his scenes ("Were Thine That Special Face"), Fred convinces the Two Men to do a little convincing of their own. The gangsters "cajole" Lilli into staying on the show ("Cantiamo d'Amore", "Kiss Me, Kate").During the Intermission, Fred's dresser Paul and the rest of the ensemble cast complain about the weather ("Too Darn Hot"). Lilli calls her boyfriend, General Harrison Howell, to complain about Fred's treatment of her, and the General immediately drives down to rescue her while the show goes on ("Where Is the Life that Late I Led?").General Howell arrives to take Lilli away ("From This Moment On"). The Two Men find out their boss has been killed, so without an IOU to collect, they try to make their way out of the theater. Lois reassures Bill she has eyes only for him... sort of ("Always True to You in My Fashion") and Bill admits he couldn't leave her ("Bianca"). Fred desperately tries to get Lilli to perform the rest of the show, realizing he still loves her too ("So in Love (Reprise)"). Lilli leaves with Howell. The Two Men get stuck out on stage and improvise ("Brush Up Your Shakespeare"). Fred resigns himself to finish the last scene of the show, not expecting 'Kate' to come onstage. He is surprised but overjoyed when she does; Lilli came back ("I Am Ashamed that Women are so Simple") ("Kiss Me, Kate (Reprise)").Its best known song is "Brush Up Your Shakespeare". "Another Op'nin', Another Show" is also widely recognized.A 3-D Movie version was released in 1953, directed by George Sidney and starring Kathryn Grayson as Lilli, Howard Keel as Fred, and Ann Miller as Lois.

That Reminds Me of a Song: "Wunderbar". Unusually for the trope, it's actually a character-developing moment as the ex-lovers reflect on the good times they used to have singing that song.

Paddleball Shot: Quite a few in the movie; among them scarves and dice go flying, the opening scene of the Show Within a Show has a shower of sparkling confetti filling the screen, and during the first rendition of "Why Can't You Behave?" there's a shot in which the sole of Bill's shoe seems to come dangerously close to the viewer's nose!

Literary Allusion Title
 Kiss Me, Kate (Theatre) / int_27690f66
comment
Literary Allusion Title: "Kiss Me, Kate" is a line within "The Taming of the Shrew." Also, "Always True to You in My Fashion" is probably an intentional paraphrase of a line from the poem "Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae" (better known as simply "Cynara") by Ernest Dowson: "I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion." Bonus in-joke points because the speaker has been indulging a lot in wine, women and song in an unsuccessful attempt to forget Cynara.

Ungrateful Bastard: Despite Fred offering Bill employment and putting up with his gambling addiction, the latter signs the former's name on an I.O.U for an exorbitant amount of money. Granted, while it's not clear if anything has actually happened between them, there's clearly something going on between Fred and Bill's girlfriend Lois. But even then, it's still Disproportionate Retribution, especially because Fred is far from being the only other man in Lois' life.

Stylistic Suck
 Kiss Me, Kate (Theatre) / int_415b3315
comment
Stylistic Suck: "Bianca" which is supposed to be a bad poem that Bill wrote for Lois. Despite this, it works. Helps that he also engages in some badass dancing during it as well. Subverted with the In-Universe musical. While Lilli and Fred's conflict very blatantly spills onstage, when the show is actually running smoothly, it's legitimately good, with a libretto taken directly from the original text, featuring shortened and easy to understand lines, as well as a great score, just as strong as the songs occurring offstage. Granted, it can potentially be done in a way with occasional bad acting and hiccups, but even then, overindulging on that takes away from the scripted moments where the show goes wrong.

Later Fred says that he'll only be able to pay them back if they keep Lilli from leaving the theatre, as he won't be able to pay them back if the show shuts down, at which point they gladly help by keeping Lilli at gun point throughout the performance.

Karma Houdini Warranty: General Howell never suffers any onstage misfortune, but the ending makes it clear that Lilli left him for Fred. In addition to that, audiences know that Howell's aspirations for the presidency after serving as VP won't work out since he chooses to be Thomas E. Dewey's running mate instead of Harry S. Truman's. And for one last unseen defeat, his plans to share another night with Lois are looking unlikely since Bill wins her faithfulness shortly afterwards.

 Kiss Me, Kate (Theatre) / int_823c6e3e
comment
Large Ham: The Two Men already serve as over the top comedic relief throughout the show, but this especially applies when they're Pushed in Front of the Audience, as the two clearly enjoy being onstage. This becomes even more pronounced during "Brush Up Your Shakespeare", where the gangsters keep extending their duet to further bask in the limelight. Fred and Lilli, both on and offstage. Much like Petruchio and Katherine, they're bold, loud personalities make them valid examples on their own, but they especially apply when together. Not to mention, both have an operatic sound to their music, giving their songs a much more dramatic feel than the rest of the score. General Harrison Howell counts, whether he's making it clear what a big deal he is, or being as sexist as possible, it is to be played with appropriate gusto.

Dude Magnet: Lilli was married to Fred whose still very much in love with her, she's engaged to General Howell, and the First Man makes it clear he's into her as well. Lois is in a relationship with Bill, at the very least has the attraction of Fred, had a one night stand with General Howell who wants to set up another one, and in general, is implied to Really Get Around.

Bowdlerisation: In the musical number "Too Darn Hot", the line "according to the Kinsey Report" was changed to "according to the latest report" in the film version. The word "bastard" was replaced in the film with "you louse". Many of the lyrics of "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" were changed.

Mob Debt
 Kiss Me, Kate (Theatre) / int_9a5eca2e
comment
Mob Debt: Zig-Zagged. On the one hand, Fred Graham is an egotistical lead actor who is pursuing a younger woman in front of his ex-wife, so not the most sympathetic. On the other hand, his co-star Bill gambling and signing a $10,000 IOU (in 1948, mind) with Fred's name is not exactly deserved. A couple of gangster thugs pursue Fred throughout the show but the mob boss conveniently dies before either Fred or Bill are forced to pay up.

Karma Houdini: Bill. He signs Fred's name to a large gambling debt (to pay for money that Fred doesn't actually have) and his punishment for this is the mob boss that wanted Fred to pay up conveniently dies just in time for Bill and Lois to reconcile and go on to star in what we presume will be a very successful play.

Also, "Always True to You in My Fashion" is probably an intentional paraphrase of a line from the poem "Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae" (better known as simply "Cynara") by Ernest Dowson: "I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion." Bonus in-joke points because the speaker has been indulging a lot in wine, women and song in an unsuccessful attempt to forget Cynara.

Subverted with the In-Universe musical. While Lilli and Fred's conflict very blatantly spills onstage, when the show is actually running smoothly, it's legitimately good, with a libretto taken directly from the original text, featuring shortened and easy to understand lines, as well as a great score, just as strong as the songs occurring offstage. Granted, it can potentially be done in a way with occasional bad acting and hiccups, but even then, overindulging on that takes away from the scripted moments where the show goes wrong.

Fred and Lilli, both on and offstage. Much like Petruchio and Katherine, they're bold, loud personalities make them valid examples on their own, but they especially apply when together. Not to mention, both have an operatic sound to their music, giving their songs a much more dramatic feel than the rest of the score.

Jerkass: General Harrison Howell comes across as one due to his rather dim view on women. While affectionate towards her, he clearly views Lilli as little more than a Trophy Wife and plans to have her give up her career aspirations just so she can be at side, serving him and making him look good. Not only that, but Howell fully intends to cheat on Lilli in a few months time with Lois.

Pushed in Front of the Audience: The Two Men. It actually happens twice. First Fred enlists them to come onstage essentially as Lilli's handlers, ensuring that she won't leave. Then later on, when the gangsters try to leave the theatre, they wind up in front of the curtain and decide to save face by singing an ode to Shakespeare.
