Despite its blatant lack of political correctness, there is considerable fun to be had in this film.

Riotous fun.

More debased Shakespeare from Franco Zeffirelli.
January 01, 2000
When [Zeffirelli] sticks to the play and to his actor's skills, the film comes alive. Sadly that was not as often as it should have been.

Purists will doubtless be upset by this flick, but the bawdy humor is engaging, the photography and musical score work just fine, and the most famous married couple in the world at that time are really having a ball here.

Not necessarily the best telling, but still wickedly attractive.

As for Mr. Zeffirelli's settings and the elaborate Renaissance costumes, they look very rich and mellow in the misty pastel colors that are used. But they, too, like Nino Rota's music, tend to monotony.

High-spirited whoop-de-doo Shakespeare, not too adulterated, not too precious, and geared slyly towards an audience who may have read about this kind of marriage on the showbiz gossip pages.

Zeffirelli can't bring himself quite to the realm of radical Shakespeare. However, the film is a great vehicle for the two most famous stars of its era.

...ranks among the finest screen adaptations of a Shakespeare play ever made.

Comedy is sustained in witty wedding ceremony.

Fine Zeffirelli version with Taylor and Burton in good form.
