- Reviews
- Kenneth S. Rothwell & Annabell Henkin Melzer, Shakespeare on Screen: an International Filmography and Videography. London, Mansell, 1990 (entry 589, p. 272-3). Rothwell writes that is is ‘a wonderfully anachronistic interpretation that validates the darkest feminine suspicions about Shakespeare’s Shrew’.
