A Fun Little Musical

I first remember listening to this soundtrack when I was eight. My Mom and I were in my Aunt and Uncle's RV touring the country with them on their way to the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The song "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" came on and I started asking about the musical. My uncle told me the plot of the movie while driving along the endless prairie that is Montana. As you can tell, I have fond memories of that trip.

When I finally saw the full thing on AMC when it was still commercial free, I loved the musical. But more importantly I loved the music. I knew nothing of who Cole Porter was and who the actors were. It was just something fun that I could sing and dance to.

The Movie is a story within a story with some the songs both being from a musical rendition of "Taming of the Shrew" that the cast are putting on. While others are from the modern story of a pair of dueling ex-lovers and the other cast members from the play. Throw in a sub-plot of one of the cast owing the mob money and two enforcers coming to make sure the debt is paid and you have magic.

There are some wonderful, singable songs on this Album most notably - Too Darn Hot; Tom, Dick or Harry; Wunderbar; I Hate Men; and my personal favorite of Brush Up Your Shakespeare.

Howard Keel and Kathryn Grayson are wonderful as a former husband and wife who are still in love but still very angry with each other and fighting like Katherine and Petrucio in Taming of the Shrew. Ann Miller steals any scene she is in but she isn't the strongest singer.

It's a fun movie and it's a fun score. There are some filler pieces like in any movie soundtrack but then there are the gems.

Go Brush Up Your Shakespeare and give this soundtrack a listen. You won't be disappointed.
