This was the last of the six movies that Kathryn Grayson made with Howard Keel, her favorite costar. And it's the last movie she would make for MGM (she'd make one more movie, for Paramount three years later, which is best left a forgotten footnote in film history). Not only are the Cole Porter songs in "Kate" great, but the dancing from one of my favorites of all time, Ann Miller, is also quite exceptional. And like always, the chemistry is there between Grayson and Keel. By this point, MGM musicals were on the downside slope of the bell curve, but this one was still well worth the effort. A solid 7/10.
