Not much Shakespeare left here but alot of fun to see these two legends together. Fairbanks has the softer touch with the style despite his bombast. Pickford is oddly compelling (though not much of a shrew.) She is beautiful, the camera loves her. We root for both of them and are satisfied in the end. The clowns fail in execution but the ideas are okay. I loved Fairbanks' boot as a hat costume, Pickford creating a futon of the bridal bed plus they kept it short and that is good too.

Wow! With that kind of dialogue, I'm surprised we continued to get movies made.
