MCT:March 23, 2008Liz Taylor is an excellent shew, and Richard Burton an excellent lout. Good fun all around, even if you're not a fan of The Bard.

I love this version of Shakepeare's Taming of the Shrew...well I am partial to one of my fav's being in this...Liz Taylor. Richard Burton and Liz Taylor were not just great offscreen but onscreen together as well. My favorite film teaming Burton and Taylor for sure!
-
MCT:January 18, 2008OMG...what can I say. You have to see this movie. It's action...it's comedy, in spite of the Old-English poetry. I absolutely love it because I've been this woman. Fiesty and challenging...and afraid to be humbled (or rather subdued) by any man! It showed me that the fruit of a gentle woman is far better than that of a cantankerous one. The message is timeless and teaches one of the principles that changed the direction of my life in highschool for the better. It's a must-see for every man and a must-have for every woman. :0)

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were outstanding together on and off the set. It shows in their acting.
-
MCT:December 12, 2007I love the play, but Burton's Petruchio was just too rough and jerky and Taylor's Kate was too screamy; I couldn't like them at all. I made it 45 minutes in before I just had to turn it off.
-
MCT:July 17, 2007Very well done. Liz Taylor and Richard Burton are fabulous, and I could not think of a better Kate and Petruchio.

One of my favorite plays, and the movie is a delightful adaptation. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton have a great chemistry, and I love her as Kate. Definitely stood the test of time.

Taylor and Burton were always fighting and it rubbed off on their character work in every movie they did together. It flabbergasts me that Liz had such a freaking ego. How does she ever get that giant head onto a sound stage?

As one would expect from Zeffirelli, it's damn pretty!-- Very well filmed and great art direction and costume design-- Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton act wonderfully as two of the most despiicable people Shakespeare ever wrote.

I don't like the story very much, it's a bit, well, out of step with modern values, but Richard Burton is fabulous as a Petruchio, and in fact it's a bit of an all-star cast. Understanding the Shakespearen language is never a problem with this one - a sign of great actors and director.

Like Cleopatra, Burton & Taylor have awesome chemistry...but this movie really takes the cake! And it's Shakespeare!
-

I like a good adaptation of Shakespeare to film. It's dated for the 60s in some stylistic sense, yet still quite worthy.
-

One of my favorite films from Shakespeare's works. The only movie I stole from my high school library.
-
MCT:September 25, 2006
Once again, if you understand Shakespeare's language then you will probably enjoy this one since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are a joy to watch and everybody looks like they are having fun. Also, the movie itself is beautiful looking which is always a plus.

visually stunning, thanks to wonderful set and art direction, beautiful photography, and gorgeous costumes. elizabeth taylor and richard burton are phenomenal in their roles, and the supporting cast is great too. beautiful music as well. it all seems a little over the top, but i can deal. but answer me one thing: why is everyone always so merry?

Not the classic version, far from it, but 'Liz and Dick' put all their heart into it, and it is very well made with a very nice feel to it. It is well worth a watch, as it turns into a great romp through one of Shakespeare's well known plays! And if you get off on Liz Taylor being violent, this is the film for you!!

Shakespeare adaptation, by Franco Zefferelli, starring real life couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, bring all their charisma, and comic timing to make this a memorable Shakespearean film.
