The Worst Movie Musicals of All Time

Kiss Me, Kate

MGM

With “Kiss Me, Kate” being made in 1953, there were some crucial songs that were altered/cut. One such song is “Too Darn Hot”. Originally sung by Paul, a black man, in the stage show, now sung by Lois, a white woman. This changes the entire purpose of the song. However, in the 50’s it was easier to sexualize a white woman instead of a man of color.
