Movie Reviews of BUtterfield 8

Movie Review: One amazing star: Elizabeth Taylor
Summary: 5 Stars

Gotta say, I've always been saddened to know that Elizabeth hated this movie and referred to it as "smut". Her performance is so much fun to watch: this woman could ACT. Look at her face when she writes "NO SALE" on wealthy Weston's bathroom mirror. Wow! Another fav moment is in the bar when she digs her stiletto heel into the top of his shoe to get him to let go of her arm. That is one amazing scene.
As a total guilty pleasure, I enjoy watching "BUtterfield 8" and "Suddenly Last Summer" one after another, a movie none of the other reviewers mentioned. Sometimes I'll follow that up with a viewing of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" for a total immersion into the wit, passion, talent and amazing beauty that Elizabeth Taylor brought to the big screen. I'm too young to have seen them as theatrical releases, so hooray for DVDs!

Summary of BUtterfield 8

Gloria wandrous is a call girl with a disturbing past. Weston liggett is a philandering lawyer unhappily married into a wealthy family Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/27/2005 Starring: Elizabeth Taylor Eddie Fisher Run time: 109 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Daniel Mann

"I was the slut of all time!" declares Elizabeth Taylor in the role for which she won her first Academy Award?. Taylor plays Gloria, a model of loose morals who discovers a last chance at love and redemption when she spends a week with Weston Ligget (Laurence Harvey), a man who married into money and hates himself for it. They fall in love, but before they can find happiness they have to overcome their own worst natures. BUtterfield 8 (named after Gloria's answering service) is a big boozy melodrama, full of gorgeous clothes, catty comments, and emotional showdowns--but along the way it plumbs some genuine sadness. No one can be simultaneously overblown and utterly sincere like Elizabeth Taylor; the movie is mired in the morality of the time, but her performance makes Gloria's mixture of grief and anger seem immediate and genuine. --Bret Fetzer
