Nothing on TV so glad to watch Taylor and Burton, good morning from SWANSEA February 2024
I was in my early 20s watching on a small late at night after partying crazy
Saw this when I was 22 ... can't really remember my reaction then ... other than watching Taylor parade around in blond wigs and outrageous costumes. ..truly only for the die hard Taylor fans ... yes confess to being one !!😂
I love Richard Burton. Ive been reading a biography about him. I still dont kno why he wasted his talent on toilets like this
he was buddies with peter ustinov the director
I actually paid to see this back in 1972, in it's theatrical release, when I was 16 years old. WTH did I know? Now, 51 yeas later ...
Same here☹
"Live and Learn", as they say. 😊
Thank You ! Vary rare Wow ! One of my top desired films to acquire.
I was only eight years old when this movie came out. And despite that my parents back in the early 1970s would take me and my brothers to those drive-in movie theaters, I don’t recall this specific film.
I learned about this motion picture through a book I read many years ago. The book explained about Burton’s earlier film, “Where Eagles Dare”, and about this Hammersmith movie being a disappointment.
I was a projectionist at the Seminole Cinema in Casselberry Florida when this came out. I remember thinking, wow, the both of them went from Cleopatra to this in nine short years!
Rumor has it that Taylor and Burton bought up all of the negatives and destroyed them. All that's left are 16mm prints on VHS.
I saw this when I was 20 and I knew it was one of the worst movies ever made, but so much fun to watch. I've been looking for it for years. I thought perhaps Liz had it destroyed.
It has some pretty tasty scenes among it's spectacular tastlessness- i was wondering how Liz and Dick were talked into making this dogshit of a movie? Incredible!

They didn't care about their reputations. The money offer was more important.
I had this on VHS years ago (uncut), lost track of it, and am so grateful for it being here on YT. Say what you will about the movie, Liz was drop dead smashing in that black swimsuit.
thanks for sharing!
Costumes by Edith Head...worth it for those visuals alone!
Never heard of this flm until now, how the mighty have falling! Really really bad.
What am I watching????? 😮
It shows like some typically low budget midnight TV movie. But hey, at least it's got some that groovy get high get drunk and get laid 70s music in it.
:)
Beau Bridges peaked early, didn’t he?
❤
My chief takeaway from this movie is that Richard Burton has terrible hair. It's dangerously close to mullet territory.
Did I miss something ?
What made E.T.
& R.B. do this film ?
They are both
capable of better
than this, surely ?😢
🇬🇧🦉🤔🌈👎📽️🇺🇲
It is sad. To see two fine actors appear in something that is so beneath them.
@@user-rh3qb5dz7z
That's just
what I thought...😢
R.B. did do his chilling
" smouldering" look, though,
always a treat ! 😊.
But then I wondered
if the usually discerning
Peter Ustinov and the
illustrious pair were
having a private
joke, to see how "little"
the film company would
accept, In order to engage
these top stars .⭐..?
A lot of work for one
prank , so...what do
you think ? 🤔📽️
🇬🇧🤔🦉😊📖⭐🇬🇧🇺🇲
Could have been a prank, like you said, I don't know. I've always enjoyed Burton and Taylor together on the screen, but this mess, this sinking disaster makes 'Boom' look like Shakespeare, ironically, though it was based on Tennessee Williams. Hold that 1968 bomb up to 'Hammersmith', and you can really see and tell the difference. Burton's performance in this was so like his character in 'The Medusa Touch' , it's as if he had walked right off the set in '72 and reappeared five years later in '77 holding the same character for use in 'Medusa Touch.'. I must say he is one of my favorite actors, and that incredible voice he possessed was a godly gift. Don't mean to be a film critic, as I am not so well versed in that world, but I do love movies, especially the ones from long ago. 🎥🎞️🍿😊
Nope.
seence then i love Tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅🤣🤣
