This is a much better film than most people give it credit for. The pacing is a unique and original dance, culminating in Burton's great final monologue and Cissy's death. A symbolist/ritual film of the self confronting, battling with, and shedding it's attachments to life with the final removal of Cissy's jewels by the Angel of Death symbolizing her leave taking of the beauty of life and surrendering to dissolution. Burton ends the ritual with the enactment of the body and the blood united and given back to the sea. Crazy high melodrama...and a camp screamer! What more can you ask for in a "failed film".
VERY entertaining in many ways! : D How can it not be with a name like "Sissy Goforth" played by E.T. Great restoration, looks like a new movie and gotta love the cozy white pod with the tiny opening to fit alcohol bottles in each one, LOL!

Miss Taylor, we miss you so much.
Liked the location and the production design not to mention Elizabeth Taylor looks really glamorous in this one worth watching.
She's so talented !! 📽👏👏 Great Artist 💐💐💐
A critic wrote about this film that the title (“Boom”) is very appropriate to describe a bomb 😂
Eye catching aesthetics
Richard, & Elizabeth, we're, SO good together.
A camp classic

"Monkey - off - the - terrace!!" Shrieked out as she starts an uncontrollable coughing fit - which made me laugh uncontrollably.
