Hallmark Hall of Fame: Kiss Me, Kate

Not to be confused with the 1953 KISS ME KATE - the big screen feature directed by George Sidney with assist from Bob Fosse - this 1958 television production actually constitutes a filmed version of the original stage play, loose adaptation of Shakespeare's TAMING OF THE SHREW by Sam Spewack, Bella Spewack and Cole Porter. The cast includes Patricia Morison , Bill Hayes, Julie Wilson and Alfred Drake. George Schaefer served as producer and director, Franz Allers handled musical direction and Ernest Flatt did the choreography.
