    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Many scenes in the film are actually one continuous shot. The scene where Cole is visiting the gentleman's club during the song "Love For Sale" is a good example. The scene is supposed to be representing three different times where Cole was in the club. Most of the dancers are costume personnel who would perform costume changes on other actors and themselves, and then walk back into the shot. Even the singer changes hair pieces and earrings in this shot.
    • Goofs
      The scene depicting the song "So In Love" on the opening night of "Kiss Me, Kate" depicts the song as a duet between the two leads during the show's Shakespearean play-within-a-play. In "Kiss Me, Kate," "So In Love" is not a duet. Both of the leads do sing solo versions of the song at different points in the show, however, neither takes place in the play-within-a-play.
    • Quotes
      • Monty Woolley: Cole, he's only an actor but he still may be right. He's tried it 7 times already, the song's a problem.
      • Cole Porter: The song is not a problem, it's a challenge. Jack! Jack my boy, how can I help you? Ask me anything.
      • Jack: Write another song.
      • Cole Porter: Oh God, that cuts me right to the quick. I know it's God awful but it's the best I can do and we open in three days.
      • Jack: Where do you get your ideas?
      • Cole Porter: I get them all from a little Chinese man in Poughkeepsie.
      • Jack: Mr Porter, the song goes so high and so low it's impossible.
      • Cole Porter: It's not impossible. I wrote this with you in mind, I can sing it and I have a range of three notes.
    • Crazy credits
      The music credits, along with their prime singers, are shown twice, once just before the cast, and then further down where the music credits usually are.
