The Taming of the Shrew

Runtime
102 min
ComedyRomance

Synopsis

San Francisco's prize-winning American Conservatory Theater staged a rowdy commedia dell'arte production of William Shakespeare's comedy, incorporating slapstick, pratfalls, and earthy humor. The play centers on the two unmarried daughters of a wealthy Italian merchant. While Bianca is genteel and popular, Kate is foul-tempered and strong-willed, making her difficult to marry. No one dares to court her until Petruchio arrives in Padua and attempts to win her hand.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
