Richard Burton and Taylor in The Taming of the Shrew in 1967 — Everett Collection
The Taming of the Shrew (1967)
Hands-down the best Taylor-Burton collaboration after Virginia Woolf is Franco Zeffirelli's lush treatment of Shakespeare's comedy. The Battling Burtons have more fun with the Bard than anyone has a right to; she knocks a chair out from under him, he leaves her waist-deep in a muddy ditch and on it goes. Most important, Liz unleashes her inner comedienne, a liberty she seldom allowed herself throughout her long career.
