The Taming of the Shrew
(1908)
Directed by D. W.
Griffith this film based on the play of the same name stars Florence
Lawrence, Arthur V. Johnson, Linda Arvidson and Harry Solter. A man
seeks to marry a woman with a reputation for a bad attitude.
More slapstick than
Shakespeare this is not the easiest adaptation to follow and it's on
the short side. The title cards are not overly illuminating either so
basically all you have here are a couple of scenes of slapstick. In
the end this is not one of the early films I would recommend.
2/5
