Taming Shrew facts
While investigating facts about Taming Shrew, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The movie "The Taming of the Shrew" had a tagline that read ""A motion picture for every man who ever gave the back of his hand to his beloved... and for every woman who deserved it."
