If my wife has a bag of gold, do I care if the bag be old?

Kiss Me Kate — 2/5

I think, like a lot of these types of movies, it's a collection of highlights on top of a thin backdrop that creates an excuse to sing and dance. Unfortunately, that backdrop is 'The Taming of the Shrew' which is one of my least favorite pieces of storytelling. And now here it is, in musical form! Yay! There's a good number, and another interesting number, and a fun dance but, beyond that, it's hard to watch for how borderline evil he is, and how weak-willed she is. And then to see them together at the end? Heart-breaking.
