Rating: UN

Description of The Taming of the Shrew:
Liz and Dick (a.k.a. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton) almost seemed to be importing the psychodramas of their marriage into this 1967 film (of course, the same was true of every film they made together). Adapted from Shakespeare's play and directed by Franco Zeffirelli (Romeo and Juliet) with his usual eye for sumptuousness, this version of Taming features a particularly boisterous, bawdy, fun performance by its stars. Composer Nino Rota--best known for scoring several of Fellini's best-known works--received a National Board of Reviews award for his vivid soundtrack. --Tom Keogh
The Taming of the Shrew Reviews:
late shipping 
2009-12-15 - I paid to have this come rush and it took 10 days the product itself was exactly what we wanted and great just too late in coming to be viewed before the audition,
Wonderful movie 
2009-12-12 - This movie is one of my life time loves. It is just a fun movie.
Taming of the Shrew
2009-12-12 - Quick and Simple. Quality video, would definitely purchase from this seller again. Thanks a bunch!
The art of Submission
2009-12-06 - Let's face it girls. There is a a quiet joy in submitting to your man's needs and fulfilling his every need. Submitting to his strength, his power his....Oh never mind!
Liz and Richard, too hot, competitive and combative to really ever get along. But oh you could feel the heat they must have been at like Klingons! This is their Movie, how could Shakespeare have known? Beautifully filmed and for those of you who think Shakespeare might be hard to follow fear not! And it's funny. Two watch those two throw jibs at each other with such accuracy! To see them secretly steal glances at each other when no one is watching. My favorite scene Petroccio watching over Kate while she sleeps. Now that's man in love. Kudos to the director,the other actors and the set and costume designers. They nailed it. Applause, applause! To Liz and Richard come on now at any point in this movie were you ever in character?
Taming of the Shrew
2009-11-21 - Shakespeare himself would have been proud to view this outstanding production. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are at their very best in this rendition of a very human tale that blends humor and pathos with a thoughtful reflection on relationships between the sexes. This will remain a long time favorite of mine, and I can say without qualification it is one of the best DVD investments I have ever made.
