I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The film is just super. Old, but so cool. There is no vulgarity, as in most films today. And it's considered ridiculous. And then why the generation is now. Here, funny and without vulgar. You can, learn new comedies in such films. I advise you to look.

The main advantage of the film "The Taming of the Shrew" is an outstanding actor's play. Adriano Celentano was excellent in the role of lone farmer misogynist Elia. And Ornella Muti irresistibly played the role of Lizzie Silvestri, who wanted to win the heart of a brutal bachelor. Celentano created the incomparable image of a wayward man who does not understand humor. I really enjoyed it. I think Elia's role is one of the best roles of Celentano in his entire career. Ornella Muti brilliantly played the role of a liberated seducer too, but Adriano overacted her. By the way, thanks to the film "The Taming of the Shrew", the little-known actress Ornella has gained worldwide fame, she was invited to appear in foreign film projects.Also very funny original humor became a great plus of the movie "The Taming of the Shrew". The jokes in the movie are extremely funny. For example: Ornela appears in the evening dress as the queen of the ball. Andriano, with boundless astonishment, rises from his chair, approaches Ornella, bends down and raises a black beetle from the ground. "You see, what a beautiful - this is a rare species of scaly-winged." And he brings this beetle to Ornella's face, she was indignant and walked away.In conclusion, I want to recommend to all fans of excellent comedies to watch the film "The Taming of the Shrew." My score on a ten-point scale is ten with a plus. I advise everyone who has not seen this movie to see it. You will not regret.

Elia is a confirmed bachelor in the thirties, living with a housemaid in an Italian village. The film starts with men talking about Elia's unbearable character, and these statements are illustrated by him entering and insulting everybody who comes in his way. The housemaid finds women for Elia, but he always succeeds in chasing them away with his awfulness until on a rainy night beautiful Lisa knocks on the door...Although this film is done with little expense, its obviously exaggerated character can be very amusing. Undoubtedly it is a matter of taste; either you love it or you hate it.

This is a very sexist and unfunny comedy with an illogical plot. Macho farmer Adriano Celentano treats lovely Ornella Muti worse than his farm animals, but she still tries to seduce him - a poor excuse for her two nude scenes. One moment is worth remembering though: That's when Celentano drives with a tractor through an Italian village, having taken in tow a bed with the quite furious Muti in it.
