Baptista Minola (Michael Hordern) is attempting to marry off his two daughters; however, he will marry off his youngest, Bianca (Natasha Pyne) only if someone will marry his eldest, Katharina (Elizabeth Taylor). Katharina is an ill-tempered shrewish woman but a lusty young nobleman, Petruchio (Richard Burton), takes on the challenge of taming and marrying her. A subplot involves the wooing of Bianca by several suitors including handsome Lucentio (Michael York), foppish Hortensio (Victor Spinetti), and elderly Gremio (Alan Webb).
Production details
The film, made in English but shot in Italy, cuts much of the original dialogue, including much of the subplot of Lucentio and Bianca, and all of the Christopher Sly framing device.
The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1592.
The play begins with a framing device, often referred to as the induction, in which a mischievous nobleman tricks a drunken tinker named Christopher Sly into believing he is actually a nobleman himself. The nobleman then has the play performed for Sly's diversion.
The main plot depicts the courtship of Petruchio and Katherina, the headstrong, obdurate shrew. Initially, Katherina is an unwilling participant in the relationship, but Petruchio tempers her with various psychological torments—the "taming"—until she becomes a compliant and obedient bride. The subplot features a competition between the suitors of Katherina's more desirable sister, Bianca. The play's apparent misogynistic elements have become the subject of considerable controversy, particularly among modern scholars, audiences and readers.
The Taming of the Shrew is a 1973 Australian TV screening of the Old Tote production of the play by William Shakespeare, relocated to an unnamed town in New South Wales at the turn of the twentieth century.

Adaption of William Shakespeare. In sixteenth century Padua, Hortensio loves Bianca, the youngest daughter of Baptista.

Having not yet met her, Petruchio agrees to court Katherine when he is told of her beauty and wit. Petruchio is even more excited at the prospect of marrying this "wildcat" of a woman after meeting her. Katherine will have none of it, even if it means her sister's spinsterhood, but has no choice but to marry ...

"Good Lord, how bright and goodly shines the moon...
I say it is the moon!
I know it is the moon...
Then you lie, it is the blessed sun!
Then God be blessed, it is the blessed sun.
But sun it is not, when you say it is not,

And so it shall be so for Katherine..."
