"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

This is a third rate Williams play given a fifth rate production with Godawful star casting. Burton is too old by twenty years, and Taylor is too young by twenty years. The only one who is remotely right is Noel Coward in a role written for a person of the opposite gender.

Taylor's wardrobe and hair are dreadful marvels.

The whole exercise is just ghastly.

In other words, everybody has to sit through this once.

Man, I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid and thinking, "I don't get it. it must be deep. Losey and Williams and all". Never seen it played since.

Thanks for the link.

If you want to see a camp riot, this is it.

Thank you, Sir Noel, for providing us with the laughs, and Liz, you are priceless.

I do love the play, though.

I got all excited when this was available on the VHS, but found it terribly boring. It's no SHOWGIRLS/MOMMIE/VALLEY.

John Waters used to do screenings of it with commentary. Now that I would buy into!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Taylor (and Burton) made some weird-ass movies in that time. Love them for it.
