Kiss Me Kate (1953) is considered one of the finest 3-D musicals ever made. Originally shot in stereoscopic 3-D by MGM to combat the rise of television, it features eye-popping dance numbers specifically designed to “tap into your lap”.

The film has been masterfully restored to its original 3-D glory for home media.

A backstage musical comedy about a divorced acting pair starring in a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.The Music: Features a legendary Cole Porter score including classics like Too Darn Hot and From This Moment On.

Stars Kathryn Grayson and Howard Keel. It also includes early, show-stopping choreography from a young Bob Fosse.The 3-D Effect: Unlike “fake” 3-D films of that era, the stereoscopic technology is used beautifully here to give depth to the MGM soundstages, alongside playful “break-the-fourth-wall” effects.
