Howard Keel was smoking hot in this movie!


That voice! That chest hair! Those tights!
Just melts my butter every time I watch this great movie.

Oh, yes. I agree.

Agreed, Howard Keel is SMOKING hot in Kiss Me Kate...YEOW!
Somewhow, I find him more attractive as "Petruchio" in costume with
mustache and goatee rather than as the actor "Fred Graham."
Maybe it is the mustache factor?
He was good in Annie Get Your Gun...no mustache....:-(
However...mustache is present in Showboat, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers...Wow!

OMG how funny, I was just watching this tonight (taped from last week) and was thinking that Howard Keel (dressed as Petruchio) is the most viral and handsome man I've ever seen from that era. SMOKING HOT. I came here to read stuff on the movie and laughed out loud when I saw this thread. I couldn't agree more!

No it's the tights and bulge factor ... and the moustache.

I was surprised to see the part where he is in his t-shirt before he puts on his costume at just how unremarkable his biceps looked as compared to the rest of his body.
