The
V.I.P.s (1963)
Synopsis: This was the first
movie Liz Taylor and Richard Burton made as a married couple. The story is by
Terence Rattigan who apparently based it on a scene he observed in the VIP
lounge of London Airport when Vivien Leigh made plans to run away with Peter
Finch and was stopped by her husband, Laurence Olivier.
It is well
filmed, way ahead of its time in certain segments where other minor characters
are playing in the background of the scene, a continuum not employed in movies
until the nineties (this was filmed in the early 60s).
Cast:
Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Louis Jourdan, Elsa Martinelli, Margaret
Rutherford, Maggie Smith, Rod Taylor, Orson Welles. Runtime: 119
