Folger-specific note
From dealer's description: "KISS ME KATE (1953) Set of 12 8 x 10" color photos. One has tape stains, a few have scattered creasing, one has a number written in bottom blank margin, overall very good. Cole Porter's reworking of THE TAMING OF THE SHREW mixes actual elements of the original play with a backstage story about an amorous couple at war with each other (which specifically is an updating of the original play), and with classic songs. George Sidney's film adaptation ( one of the few important films shot in 3-D during Hollywood's brief initial flurry of interest in the format in the early 50's) masterfully plays with different levels of reality, intermixing the Shakespeare play with the varying intrigues simultaneously happening."
