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.

I have seen this movie many times, and it never fails to make me laugh. Celentano's genius in acting is shown clearly through his actions in this movie, where he is supposed to be a "hard-head" man who never wants to get married and doesn't find women attractive. However, through her many seductions, Ornella Muti finally makes him love her(enough that he marries her at the end). It's really funny to see how Celentano tries to resist her seductive manners every time she tries. I dont know what else to say; its one of those movies that you have to see to really understand how funny it is. Everyone should watch this; it's a good, clean, funny Italian comedy :)
