There are several versions of "Taming of the Shrew" floating around out there. Each with its strong points.
Howard Keel's
Kiss Me Kate (1953) is the closest to the original.
Richard Burton
The Taming of The Shrew (1967) is the most flamboyant and fun. But this animal has no socially redeeming value and lacks any memorable actors.
This film counts on camp to distract from the bad acting and pore timing. It is worse than a high school play. Karen Austin as Katherina is more sex than a shrew. Everyone else is just doofus.
