The Taming Of The Shrew Limited Edition Blu-Ray

Richard Burton (Absolution) and Elizabeth Taylor (Secret Ceremony) star in The Taming of the Shrew, a lively and daring adaptation of Shakespeare's immortal romantic comedy by 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 stubborn and bitter Kate (Taylor) scares men away... until nobleman Petruchio (Burton) is inspired by a substantial dowry to take on the challenge.

This lavish production features a star-studded cast including Cyril Cusack (Gideon's Day), Michael York (Cabaret), Alan Webb (The Third Secret), and Victor Spinetti (A Hard Day's Night), and features a rich soundtrack by the great Nino Rota (The Godfather, 8½).
