Re: Elizabeth Taylor - 1

[selenak]

Because brief scenes give an Impression without taking so much time as movies:

Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift: first on screen encounter

Cat on a hot tin Roof: Maggie confronts her husband with the truth. Well, as much of it as the laws of 50s cinema permitted. Skipper is her husband's dead bff and probably more, whom she had sex with once because she was jealous.


Petruccio proposes to Katharina in "Taming of the Shrew":

Two scenes from "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?" showing why this is still the gold standard of dysfunctional marriage dramas which sooner or later all middle aged actors (male and female) play. Though rarely as well as these two:

Boxing Match (not a literal one)

Snapped


Richard Burton as O'Brien in 1984 (filmed in the last year of his life)


Shipper vid!
