Movie Review: Waiting for the Good Version...
Summary: 5 Stars
Elizabeth Taylor is a great actress, as her career has confirmed. Let's not forget that she started out as a child star, and is one of the few who have grown into a successful adult film career (not forgetting Natalie Wood, Dean Stockwell, Roddy MacDowell, Judy Garland). "Raintree County" was her 1st Oscar nom, and for the following 3 years, one of the few to receive 4 consecutive noms. I saw this film in its initial release when I was 8 years old and it fascinated me. In subsequent viewings, I learned of the history in making the film, and I still think it's wonderful. There were major set-backs during the filming, especially Monty Clift's disfiguring accident, but the resulting film works for me. I'd heard that a 50th anniversary edition was on the horizon, but it's now 2008 and none has appeared. D'ya think this film will ever be given proper treatment? Many great, classic films are still awaiting DVD release (The Human Comedy, The Uninvited, Summer & Smoke), while there's pure garbage being turned out ad nauseum. I'm currently disappointed.
