STILL not seen this. Seen it on stage, and 4+ hours of it kind of put me off wanting to see the film.

Why was it 4+ hours on stage? When I saw it it was no more than 2... I saw it with Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin, who were absolutely NOTHING on Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton - incredible performances from both, especially Taylor. I think I'm quite the Taylor fan without knowing it - I've seen her in 3 movies and always thought she was outstanding.

I loved the way the ending was handled in the movie.. really heartbreaking.

I actually thought all 4 of the cast members in the movie were good, and apparently both Turner and the other girl won Oscars and didn't bother turning up to the ceremony!

a 9 for me, though this might go up with further viewing, i'm not entirely sure i completely got it the first time round
it's definitely a film that has stuck though

I saw that same production. I'm not kidding, it was 4 hours!! The running time was even in the programme. I don't think it was a preview.

 

[Ellie]

I just looked it up, yes, it was 3 hours 15 minutes with 2 long intervals that took it to 4 hours from start to finish.

Still not seen the film

I saw it on Broadway though - did you see it in the West End? Wonder if it was slightly different perhaps? I really don't remember it being long AT ALL.

 

[Ellie]

Yes I saw it at the West End with them both. It was a real chore to come back after the second interval.

 

[cwej]

I'm sure there was only 1 interval on Broadway too.

 

[Phoenix]

Saw this for the first time tonight. What a movie.

So many great lines, I loved it.

 

[GNL]

One of my favourite films. A total FEVER DREAM.

Iconic.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Quite possibly my favourite film of all time post-COVID19 remix

 

[GALA]

I'm still thinking about this film, it really chews and spits you back out.


I HOPE THAT WAS AN EMPTY BOTTLE, GEORGE
YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO WASTE GOOD LIKKA!
