BUtterfield 8 description
"I was the slut of all time!" declares Elizabeth Taylor in the role for which she won her first Academy Award®. Taylor plays Gloria, a model of loose morals who discovers a last chance at love and redemption when she spends a week with Weston Ligget (Laurence Harvey), a man who married into money and hates himself for it. They fall in love, but before they can find happiness they have to overcome their own worst natures. BUtterfield 8 (named after Gloria's answering service) is a big boozy melodrama, full of gorgeous clothes, catty comments, and emotional showdowns--but along the way it plumbs some genuine sadness. No one can be simultaneously overblown and utterly sincere like Elizabeth Taylor; the movie is mired in the morality of the time, but her performance makes Gloria's mixture of grief and anger seem immediate and genuine. --Bret Fetzer |

[[ASIN:1435701992 Lola Ray]]
Although I've always loved Elizabeth Taylor in all her movies, I believe Butterfield 8 is my very favorite. Here, she was at the zenith of her beauty - My opinion - I never thought her more beautiful and talented. And her acting, of course, was nothing less the superb. She is and always has been one of my favorite actors. Definitely five stars. I'd give it ten if I could.
