A contemporary adaptation
Headstrong, argumentative, bossy Katherine Minola (Shirley Henderson) is a professional politician with an image problem. She's so abrasive that her PR reps try to convince her that getting married would give her constituents a better image of her.
Enter the penniless nobleman Petruchio (Rufus Sewell) who at first is only interested in Katherine's money. But soon the battle of the wills begin and it's man against woman, woman against man. But can she be tamed?
Others in the cast include Jaime Murray, Stephen Tompkinson, Twiggy Lawson and David Mitchell.
This is definitely my favorite of this four-part series.
Aired on BBC on Nov-21-2005.
Screenplay by Sally Wainwright. Directed by David Richards.
Run time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Not MPAA rated.
My personal rating: A-
