    Сast and Crew

    Source book

    The 1980 film "The Taming of the Scoundrel" is not based on a specific book (novel/short story). It is generally treated as an original screenplay rather than a direct adaptation of a single literary work.

    Common literary association

    Because of the title and the broad “taming” theme, it is often associated with The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. However, the film is not a screen adaptation of that play; any resemblance is loose and thematic rather than plot-faithful.

    How closely the film matches the book

      • There is no one-to-one book-to-film correspondence, since there is no single source book.

      • Compared only to Shakespeare’s play as a thematic touchpoint, the similarity is very general (different setting, characters, and story structure).

    Non mi piacciono le donne che si truccano troppo.

    La solitudine è una gran compagnia.

    Non ho bisogno di nessuno.

    Le donne sono tutte uguali.

    Not a bad story, humor vaguely reminiscent of Gaidaevsky and excellent acting. Interesting, more than once and funny. Of course, I would like to reduce the minutes by 10-15, because by the end I was tired of watching, but it’s not that bad

    The correct title of this picture is: "A million ways to upset a girl." The film is built on conflicts in a humorous wrapper. A funny comedy, but nothing more. The main character is quite attractive. From the junction I caught a facepalm.

    A funny and lighthearted comedy. A hilarious plot, wonderful performances, and a poignant ending make this film a wonderful entertainment. It immerses the viewer in a world of laughter and positive energy. A real find for fans of Italian cinema.

    Translated to English

    sometimes, maybe once a year, you need to take a break from everything new and watch only old films that have been tested by life and the viewer – an Old Cinema Festival or a retrospective week. Everyone has their own, but it is so necessary. Such renewal and rise of creative forces

    An excellent film where you can laugh heartily, and the dazzlingly beautiful Ornella is a delight for the eyes

    The capital’s TP gets into the pants of a harmful farmer at every opportunity and only knows how to "trade" the body – this is its entire plan for "taming". And it works… If it weren’t for Celentano’s crazy charisma and a pack of funny gags, I would have buried this plot "miracle"

    Translated to English

    Watched

    Celentano plays an impenetrable country bachelor. In the middle of the night, a city girl who won’t take no for an answer bursts in, and thus two egotists clash. A very funny interpretation of Shakespeare. I love quoting this unrealistic yet witty film for a cozy evening.

    The funny romantic comedy was beautiful and it was really funny, but the point is that despite the circumstances, similar people will still be happy together.

    Well, are you bored? It’s not for nothing that I chose this film for comment. Oh, what a busy week it has been The film is a classic. Excellent images and unparalleled performance. I recommend that men pay attention to Lisa’s attitude towards her pliable fiancé, who is also comfortable with Elia. Draw conclusions

    One of A. Celentano’s best films, starring the beautiful O. Muti. The film is truly a success: funny, entertaining, and musical. It’s a film you can watch and rewatch over and over again.

    A naive, good comedy. Stunningly charismatic Adriano. There are many interesting thoughts about the attitude of certain women to certain men.
