Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It was a solid box office hit, though it had almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for romantics and people who need a good giggle. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Same wavelength as Manhattan.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1964: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

A pair of divorced actors are brought together to participate in a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew. Of course, the couple seem to act a great deal like the characters they play, and they must work together when mistaken identities get them mixed up with the mafia.
