Watching right now. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton...LOVE STORY. Goodness Liz was so beautiful in this movie. Truly a movie star and a great actress!

Wish I'd have caught it from the beginning. LOVE that movie and seen it many times. Richard B. is so weak, but fab just the same. Eva Marie Saint was beautiful too, but in a fresh way.

Liz was at her peak and breathtaking!

The Shadow of Your Smile is one of my all time favorite songs.

I agree. Loved this movie that was shot on the beautiful Big Sur Coast.

Richard Burton............ What an extraordinary man. Sad that he didn't take care of himself.......

Yes. He never fails to hypnotize me when he is on screen. Something about his voice. I'm sure he was a cad in real life....but listening to him is a treat!

Such a sad movie, but so well done!

Poor thing. He probably would've fared better as a university professor...he was so intelligent, he could've been a professor, like "George." BTW he definitely was cheated out of the Oscar that year!!!! (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf)

I think "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" is the quintessential Taylor-Burton collaboration. Some of the best acting of their careers, or are they acting at all?

BTW, Virginia Woolf is coming on tonight @ 7 pm CST on TCM!

Burton was definitely acting. Most people in Hollywood agree that he was robbed. ET got an Oscar but he didn't.

I thought Liz was dreadful in The Sandpiper. Beautiful, yes, but her acting made me laugh. Burton's too, actually.

Now, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, that's another story!

I agree, I couldn't get into the plot of this film.
