The Taming of the Shrew - 1923 - Shakespeare - The Silent Film Series - 4 K - Restored - SN Edition
The Taming of the Shrew - The Silent Film Series
This adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew was one of a series of two-reel truncations of classic texts produced by the British and Colonial Kinematograph Company and released under the banner Gems of Literature (another one that survives is A Christmas Carol, also from 1923). The BFI National Archive only has a copy of the second reel, but it includes most of the play's dramatic meat and gives a good impression of what the whole must have been like.
Director: Edwin J. Collins
Cast
Dacia Deane (Katharina),
Lauderdale Maitland (Petruchio),
M.Gray Murray (Baptista),
Cynthia Murtagh (Bianca),
Roy Beard (Lucentio)
