The Taming of the Shrew, the 1967 Franco Zeffirelli Italian/U.S. romantic comedy ("The motion picture they were made for!"; "A motion picture for every man who ever gave the back of his hand to his beloved... And for every woman who deserved it. Which takes a lot of people!"; "Selected for the 1967 British Royal Performance!"; "A romantic film amorously devoted to every man who ever gave the back of his hand to his beloved... And to every woman who deserved it!"; "In the war between the sexes, there always comes a time to surrender - unconditionally!"; "with acknowledgments to William Shakespeare without whom they would have been at a loss for words"; "Screenplay by Paul Dehn, Suso Cecchi D'Amico, Franco Zeffirelli"; based on the play by William Shakespeare) starring Elizabeth Taylor (in the title role as Katharina, The Shrew), Richard Burton, Cyril Cusack, Michael Hordern, Alfred Lynch, Alan Webb, Victor Spinetti, Michael York, and Natasha Pyne

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare 1960s double-sided poster. It is printed on a plastic type of material. This poster was one of a small group of such double-sided posters that were found at one time. Other than this small group, I have never seen any of these 1960s double-sided posters before. Included in the group that was found was a "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which was auctioned in London, and sold for a HUGE amount of money! It appears that it was some sort of experiment that was tried in the 1960s and then abandoned, and not used again until the 1990s, when movie posters were sometimes made in double-sided versions (for use in light boxes). Note that the image on the reverse of this poster is a mirror image of the image on the front!

Condition: good to very good. There are some horizontal creases scattered throughout the poster (more so down the poster at left) from it being somewhat flattened while rolled and there is a diagonal crease in the lower left corner. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition.
