5.0 out of 5 stars A very moving film!, July 3, 2009

This review is from: Between Friends (Nobody Makes Me Cry) (VHS Tape)

This movie, also released by HBO as "Between Friends" is about two recently divorced women who must not only cope with the loneliness, but also with their self-worth; as both their husbands leave them for other women. Carol Burnett plays Mary Castelli, a real estate woman who fills her loneliness through sexual permiscuity and married men, while Deborah Shapiro, played brilliantly by Elizabeth Taylor, sees a middle-aged, paunchy business man who is grufty and constantly after her to get married, even though the two are not in love with each other.

For those fans of Carol Burnett who were used to her comedy show, this portrayal is a departure from the usual Carol even though one might recognize her comedy in a few lines here and there. Carol is also skilled in playing a personage that you learn to feel sorry for as she has been so wounded by her husband's leaving.

The magic moments of the film are the results of a bonding between Mary Castelli and Deborah. I've watched the film many times and always come back to it. It is not for younger audiences as there are sexual references and language. Without giving away the plot, I would highly recommend it. It is shot in Toronto, Canada, but passes for New York City. Great shots of Union Station!

There is a happy-ending after a climax of life-changing events, realisations and just plain great acting!

Why would a reviewer ruin a perfect score of this movie just because of something that has NOTHING to do with the actual movie?

Anyway as the title says it's funny, moving, campy movie with Elizabeth Taylors amazing beauty and unique style of acting. Why is not on DVD, or better yet blu-ray? Everyone is really wanting Elizabeth Taylor material and this would be a very welcome addition.

Tonight I looked for this on Netflix, thinking about how great Carol Burnett and Elizabeth Taylor were in this movie. I haven't seen it in over 25 years, but I do remember how great it was. I has to come out on DVD or online along with Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean.
