The Taming of the Shrew (1967) Directed by Franco Zeffirelli, running time 2:02

Franco Zeffirelli’s lavish adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy stars Elizabeth Taylor as fiery Katharina, whose sharp tongue and defiance make her the “shrew” no man dares marry. Petruchio (Richard Burton), a fortune-seeking suitor is determined to “tame” her. Their battle of wills unfolds in Padua, where disguises, mistaken identities, and romantic subplots swirl around Bianca, Katharina’s younger sister. The film revels in verbal sparring and physical comedy, with Taylor and Burton’s real-life tempestuous marriage fueling the on-screen fireworks.
