If you loved Show Boat, try Kiss Me Kate

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by George Sidney, and they both carry the cozy mood tag, and they sit in Music / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Show Boat, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Kiss Me Kate is

A backstage musical that thinks it's also something else. A divorced acting couple is forced to perform opposite each other in a stage production of *The Taming of the Shrew*, complicated by gangsters. It’s not exactly reinventing Shakespeare, or anything else.
