Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew - IV.i (1976 TV)

The Taming of the Shrew done in fine commedia dell'arte style, from the thrilling Bill Ball years.

from a rather poor VHS tape, my DVD copy isn't available now--but had a request for this clip ASAP!

go here to see John Cleese perform this scene:
