This takes me back to the '70s. I remember watching this version of The Taming of The Shrew, starring hottie Marc Singer as Petruchio.
Not a good actor, but still delivers a great performance. He's done a few films, but I still enjoy.
For your watching enjoyment:

As y'all know, I was forced to go to parochial school for eight years. I hated every minute of it, but I did have a great education.
I hated the nuns and priests. For the most part, the nuns were Irish. They opened my eyes to a lot of things.
One of the things I remember was that they said the national anthem was originally an English drinking song.
It wasn't until later that I was able to confirm this.
This song is appropriate because it says that Americans are drunks. And it made sense. There is a movement to get rid of the American drinking song.
The drinking song was only added in 1929, which is appropriate considering the Depression. It is a very depressing song and you really have to be drunk to hit that note.
A poem, written by Francis Scott Key, a slave owner. He actually liked the drinking song and he used it before for another poem.
There are more appropriate songs by American musicians. The few I can mention are, America The Beautiful or This Land is Your Land.
I have been a cinephile since 1964, and I've been watching the Academy Awards since 1965.
I've loved books since always. For some reason, I'd read a book only to find out that the book was made into a movie.
I was always the ring leader and everyone loved my choices of movies.
I came across this and I really thought it was hysterical. The friends all laughed at this film.
For some reason, I found this hilarious back then, but it's not as funny as I remembered.
As soon as Sondra said this, we all knew exactly what she meant. Chanclas are those cheap flip-flops one could buy at Walgreen's for a dollar.
For some reason, they always broke when one least expected. Or they were a little used and they tended to fall apart.
Back in the 70s, I came across a lot of my baby stuff. Mom was a hoarder and I found boxes of my early life. Among the treasures, I found a baby huarache.
I loved that huarache. I always had it for show. We were looking at family photos one night and we came across a photo of me wearing the huaraches. Sondra loved it.
It followed me on my adventures. Last month I finally got a provider, a person who cleans the house, laundry, and runs errands.
Hortencia is my provider and she is awesome. Barbara is amazed at how different my home looks.
I felt something was awry and I noticed my chancla was gone! I looked all over but could not find it. It was gone. It was a family heirloom and irreplaceable.
C'est-la vie.
I know Clyde will love this one. I know so much more about women than I thought. I think this would be a faggot video. Would add to our humor. And of course, women.
I think everyone knows Barbarella, the 1968 fantasy film with Jane Fonda, a young Ugo Tognazzi of La Cage aux Folles. Not to mention a very handsome John Phillip Law.
Back in the day, moi and mes amis used to have movie nights. We took turns showing films with a theme. I usually picked films with music by Nino Rota or Max Steiner.
A fun companion to Barbarella would be Flash Gordon with hottie Sam J Jones, the hot husband in the movie 10. Also starring Max von Sydow, a young Timothy Dalton, and a soundtrack by then unknown, Queen.
