Editorial Review: Product Description: Shakespeares fiercely funny battle of the sexes. Special features: widescreen version mono sound languages: english spanish portuguese subtitles: english spanish portuguese chinese korean and thai talent files and theatrical trailer. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 05/22/2007 Starring: Elizabeth Taylor Richard Burton Run time: 122 minutes Rating: Nr Amazon.com essential video: 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 Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Fantastic chemistry!The chemistry between Burton and Taylor is magnificent. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it! Rating: - Taming of the ShrewThis movie is a classic. It is one that I have wanted to get for ages. The chemistry between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton makes the whole movie that much more exciting. I could watch it over and over. If you like an old fashioned movie with a lesson to be learnt, then this is the movie for you. Rating: - Its just a movie.And that is all it is. You get the Taylor and Burton being their big star selves. You get very good supporting performances. You get a signature big plush production from Franco Zeffirelli. You also get a very skimpy serving of Shakespeare to go with the heaping plate of stars and stuff. I would be surprised if I did an actual count and found half the text in the movie script. Large sections of the primary story line and even key speeches, such as Kate's final speech about duty to husbands ... Read More Rating: - The Taming of the ShrewTaming of the Shrew by Franco Zeffirelli allows its viewers to experience the epoch, in which the drama develops. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor bring the drama and the essence of comedy to this production. Again, Zeffirelli invited us through this espectacular production to be part of his own experience and luxury that overwealms ourselves. Rating: - wonderfulThis is probably my favorite Shakespear redition. I love to see Burton and Taylor play off of each other. Browse for similar items by category:
