Kiss Me, Kate

Broadcast live as part of the Hallmark Hall of Fame on NBC, two divorced actors are brought together to perform a musical adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew. The couple's real‑life dynamics mirror the characters they portray, and when mistaken identities drag them into a confrontation with the mafia, they must join forces to prevail.
