NICE SOUNDTRACK!!

[Caitlin232323]

Where can I watch this movie?

[brettsinclair62]

escludo sia capo caccia,non ha le doppie isole di fronte alla villa,dunque ?

[MrThesheenster]

A misuderstood masterpiece!

[WilliamPierce38]

The most beautiful woman to ever grace the silver screen. May she rest in peace.

[furaskin]

@WilliamPierce38 And in this movie there is the most INCREDIBLE close up to her magic eyes!

[JERIPRIDE9]

SARDINIA is the location luv.

[unclealand]

We've seen better film on teeth.

[Russell230870]

The movie wqas panned and flopped on release but Barry's score as with so many of his has gone on to stand the test of time, shades of the ipcress file in this

[furaskin]

I bought this movie and there is an INCREDIBLE close up to her eyes! I never saw nothing of the sort.

[tetsuorocks]

Where can you get the full version of this soundtrack. Very beautiful.

Oh and the samurai outfit kicks ass!!

Do you remember Michael Dunn, the dwarf who appeared in Boom with Elizabeth Taylor? There is a really good biography out about Michael. It is called The Big Life of a Little Man: Michael Dunn Remembered and it is available at amazon.com for those of you who are interested in a great read about an amazing man. Rest in peace, Ms. Taylor.

This movie should come with a warning from the Surgeon General . . . . It is such a guilty pleasure , it could be harmful to your reality ! LOVE LOVE LOVE it !

[phyllo1960]

thanx Sylvia!

[phyllo1960]

Does anyone knows the shooting location?

[SylviafromCanada]

@phyllo1960

Capo Caccia, Sardegna Island, Italy

[CarlWithRecords]

Run don't walk to see this campy yet profound film starring the late great Elizabeth Taylor ! It's Tennessee Williams favorite adaptation of his own work and we couldn't stop quoting it ! It went out of print quickly on video and not yet on DVD - My favorite movie !

[bwrobeson]

I hope she's with her Richard now...good bye...b

[ssballs]

John barry,Elizabeth Taylor,er al,thank you.

[StaunchComic]

I think that the people that hated it so much simply didn't understand it.

Everything about this film is perfect from start to finish.

You have to really stay focused when watching it but the movie is one of my favorite Elizabeth Taylor films. Also check out "The drivers seat".

[tonyblake69]

Bonkers cimbalom madness rip......

[torchsonglover]

Goodbye John Barry. This score was one of your best.

[goback3spaces]

Hard to figure what this baby is about.

[archer1949]

So if I actually track this down, will it make sense in context?

Although I do like Losey, and John Waters mentioned this in his latest book, so I may get it anyway.

[JohnKoroly]

Unfortunately, the milk train stopped before it got to this picture. (Anyone get my obscure reference, there?)

[coralarch]

2:18- what is Liz wearing- a 25th century shower cap???

[StaunchComic]

@coralarch It's a Kabooki (misspelled) outfit. I adore everything about this film. It's a masterpiece! Tennesse Williams was so awesome.

[coralarch]

@StaunchComic Thanks for that. I just saw that Joseph Losey was the director- that's in its favour.:)

[JuanMacready]

This movie was fucking awful.

[cagwa]

Great Director of Photography, great composer, great writer... so why did it suck ass?

[cariboulakeroad]

I think it is perfectly tacky and wonderously eccentric. To dislike it, would be to hate your country, -fat, tacky, campy, nonsensical, and on constant loop in your psyche. I see the dawn of a new hedonistic club, one where officially no one can actually see eachother. We just need to know to aren't alone there.

[georgejonesfan93]

Waste of my time

[TheLuddgang]

Of course it's awful...that's never a bar to enjoyment in my life !

[Dalkveron]

It's a guilty pleasure (I mean, the movie...)

[TheLuddgang]

OKAY....it's Liz Taylor, Burton and Noel fucking Coward

(as the Witch Of Capri) what more do you people want ?!

[PeterFirthFan]

They were all crap in this awful, flop movie.

[CalTxDude]

@TheLuddgang FanBloodyTastic response! Thank you!!

[TheLuddgang]

I like good, i like bad...i just ask that it's REALLY bad! I would really like to see the Burton Taylor Dr. Faustus again, i saw it when i was really young and it scared me. Also Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness with Anthony Newley and Joan Collins...not seen that for decades.

[bumblebert]

@TheLuddgang your bad taste is impeccable! ;-)

[marekerhardt]

Well, the score is good, by the capable John Barry responsible for so many 007 filmsscores. There is good- bad and bad-bad. This is no Plan 9 From Outer Space!

[marekerhardt]

BOOM went the BOMB!!!!!!!

[PeterFirthFan]

I don't know why Burton made this flop at all!

[marekerhardt]

Ego, money and pressure from la Liz maybe. It is included in a special wing of the Golden Turkey Awards book dedicated to some of Taylor's films.

[PeterFirthFan]

Crap movie.

[marekerhardt]

I'll say. An egopiece of s..t.

[shocktrooper42]

wtf

[ilovesexilovenaked]

what is the 3 top sexy moment of her on the screen?

[femsual]

well i can give u one-- it was when she said "chin chin" to a guy from the movie ASHE WEDSDAY.anyone have 2 others?

[thewhocaresgirl]

I want to see this soooo bad! SO BAD!

[paul51]

One of the few movies Taylor starred in that I have not seen . . . would love to though.

[StaunchComic]

This is easily one of my top ten favorite films ever! Thank you for posting!!

[Dalkveron]

I know this is one of John Waters favourite movies (and I can see why...). I can't believe it hasn't been released on DVD yet

[ilovesexilovenaked]

"this is one of John Waters favourite movies " what do you mean ?

[kobaltblu13]

I agree! I understand that one is in the works, but I cannot verify. When I first saw this as a child I could not believe what I was seeing. I really would love to see it now.

The Performing Arts Library and Museum in San Francisco is going to have a free showing 08/12/09.

[furaskin]

@Dalkveron I found it in Germany on ebay. It's in English!

[BrotherBabylon]

So... this is the story of a white samurai who comes out of the ocean and turns a woman who lives on the back of that turtle from Neverending Story into the Priestess from Masters of the Universe? I wouldn't let him into my bed either.

[Dalkveron]

lol!!!

[inanenvelope]

To use the parlance of our times : lol :-)

[StaunchComic]

actually she can't get him into her bed!

[StaunchComic]

This is one of my favorite taylor films!thank you for posting it!

[YiotaPam]

[sunsetbeachforever]

[grace4561]

[StaunchComic]

[LaSerpentaCanta]

@YiotaPam please, where can I download it?

[dunawayfan]

Been waiting forever to see this little curio again..The house and its setting allways intrigued me.

[Glenn4romance]

If only this amazing film would be released on DVD here in the US!!!

[ssarryo]

That house is beautiful.

[nataliansolo]

Great.

[m5686]

very cool , one of my all time favorites, any soundtrack of it?

[Dalkveron]

Actually I used the soundtrack to edit the video. The problem is that Windows Movie Maker limits the work and I couldn't use dialogue from the movie (which I would have loved to)

[Mr240274]

i love everything about this movie, from the acting to the screenplay, thank you for posting it

yo know how can i get a copy? thanks

by the way your video shows very well the spirit of the movie, you choose the best song from the soundtrack to reflect the atmosphere

[Dalkveron]

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The movie has recently been released on DVD in Spain, I'm sure you can find it in any online store.

[MGMstar]

Thanks for this. A strange and wonderful film that many missunderstand.
