English Summary:

The Taming of the Shrew (Italian: La Bisbetica domata) is a 1967 American-Italian romantic comedy film based on the play of the same name by William Shakespeare about a courtship between two strong-willed people. The film was directed by Franco Zeffirelli and stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton as Shakespeare's Kate and Petruchio.

Baptista Minola is attempting to marry off his two daughters; however, he will marry off his youngest, Bianca only if someone will marry his eldest, Katharina. Katharina is an ill-tempered shrewish woman but a lusty young nobleman, Petruchio, takes on the challenge of taming and marrying her. A subplot involves the wooing of Bianca by several suitors including handsome Lucentio, foppish Hortensio, and elderly Gremio.

 

Italian Summary:

La bisbetica domata (The Taming of the Shrew) è un film del 1967 diretto da Franco Zeffirelli, tratto dall'omonima commedia di William Shakespeare, interpretato dalla coppia d'oro dell'epoca formata da Elizabeth Taylor e Richard Burton.

Ambientato a Padova alla fine del XVI secolo, il film narra la storia di due sorelle, Bianca e Caterina.

Per divieto del padre, Bianca non può sposarsi finché la sorella non avrà trovato marito. Ma Caterina ha un carattere terribile, e nessuno la vuole in moglie.

Sarà Petruccio a sposarla, dopo un corteggiamento piuttosto agguerrito, permettendo così a Bianca di sposare Lucenzio.
