The ideal casting of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton anchors Franco Zeffirelli's rollicking screen adaptation of the classic Shakespeare farce, as the willful Katherina (Taylor) determinedly defies her father's attempts to marry her off, and the swaggering noble Petruchio (Burton) resolves to wear down her resistance. Crowd-pleasing take on the enduring "battle of the sexes" comedy also stars Michael Hordern, Natasha Pyne, Michael York, Victor Spinetti. 122 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
