Richard Burton (Absolution) and Elizabeth Taylor (Secret Ceremony) star in The Taming of the Shrew, a vibrant and bawdy adaptation of Shakespeare’s immortal romantic comedy from director Franco Zeffirelli (Romeo and Juliet).
Nobleman Baptista (Michael Hordern, Girl Stroke Boy) seeks husbands for his two daughters. Bianca (Natasha Pyne, The Devil-Ship Pirates) has no trouble attracting suitors, but the headstrong and acerbic Kate (Taylor) drives men away... until the nobleman Petruchio (Burton) is inspired by a sizeable dowry to take on the challenge.
This lavish production’s all-star cast is rounded out by Cyril Cusack (Gideon’s Day), Michael York (Cabaret), Alan Webb (The Third Secret), and Victor Spinetti (A Hard Day’s Night), and features a lush soundtrack by the great Nino Rota (The Godfather, 8½).
