Kiss Me Kate premiered

November 26, 1953
MGM released the first musical in 3-D, Kiss Me Kate on this date.

Keenan Wynn and James Whitmore neglected to rehearse their Brush Up Your Shakespeare number more than once or twice because they thought it was silly. When it came time to shoot it they made numerous fumbles and mistakes which the director thought was on purpose. He later complimented them on making it look like something a couple of thugs would perform. They never told him the truth.
