Product Description

Product Description

Elizabeth Taylor won an Academy Award for Best Actress in her role as a high-class call girl who falls in love with a married socialite (Laurence Harvey). Eddie Fisher and Dina Merrill co-star.

Amazon.com

"I was the slut of all time!" declares Elizabeth Taylor in the role for which she won her first Academy Award®. Taylor plays Gloria, a model of loose morals who discovers a last chance at love and redemption when she spends a week with Weston Ligget (Laurence Harvey), a man who married into money and hates himself for it. They fall in love, but before they can find happiness they have to overcome their own worst natures. BUtterfield 8 (named after Gloria's answering service) is a big boozy melodrama, full of gorgeous clothes, catty comments, and emotional showdowns--but along the way it plumbs some genuine sadness. No one can be simultaneously overblown and utterly sincere like Elizabeth Taylor; the movie is mired in the morality of the time, but her performance makes Gloria's mixture of grief and anger seem immediate and genuine. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Ever Glorious
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2013

Here, Elizabeth Taylor was at her most glorious. No one could deny that nature gifted her in many ways, even giving her a compassionate heart. Although much has been said and written about her destructive living (in real life), it is also well known that when she was a friend, she was truly a genuine friend. She loved deeply and passionately, but was much more than a "thing" of beauty and decoration. Her acting spoke for itself, although many have allowed her beauty to overshadow her ability to say much even with a few words. It is interesting, too, to observe her fullness of figure, and compare that to today's actresses who want total firmness in arms, legs, shoulders -- Elizabeth's figure was real, and to me (an old man) it spoke volumes in sexuality and splendor not equalled today. I was quite saddened to see the last images of her shortly before her death, but it was obvious that age had taken hold -- as is the course of nature. She herself said that she never liked to watch herself on film and did not like her voice or anything about herself. We are much the richer, however, that others did. I think, though, that she was truly a sad individual. I always wanted to say something to her, but was never allowed that opportunity. She always struck me as someone who needed just an understanding touch of one's hand, to make her know that she was not really unlike so many more who are imperfect but still adored. Truly, there was something uniquely special about her.

4.0 out of 5 stars ...Just call Butterfield 8
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2011

Ok, so I saw this film several years ago...in fact a LOT of years ago. I was young, impressionable and I thought Ms. Taylor was the most beautiful woman on earth and this was the best movie I'd ever seen. Fast forward to 2010. I could hardly wait to get the DVD. Well, sadly for me, the movie had lost a lot of it's previous luster. The storyline was so inept and predictable. Bad girl wants to change her bad ways and become a respectable wife and live happily ever-after. Too bad it's with someone else's husband. Not that the husband is happy in his boring, sterile marriage. The script is bad. Gloria Wandrous...wait a minute...Wandrous did you say? Like in 'wander'? Yes, certainly... as Gloria wanders from party to party and man to man. She is a high-paid call/party girl and Butterfield 8, her answering service, is the means by which her 'clients' connect to her. She is seen hopping from nightclub to nightclub, being lifted by several 'clients' to the bar counter, smiling for the camera while pouring drinks for the lot. She is dressed to kill in a sexy little black number with white pearls.

The one thing that stands out in this tragic tale is that nobody is happy. Gloria's mother (Mildred Dunnock) is in total denial about the line of work her daughter is involved in. She thinks Gloria is a model. But, come on! Mother must know something is going on since the only people that ever call Butterfield 8 are men. So mom worries about Gloria and goes around with a cloud of doom hanging over her head. She isn't happy. Weston Ligget (Laurence Harvey), the man Gloria falls for, is not a happy camper in his high-society marriage to a cool, aloof ice princess. Of course Emily (Dina Merrill), his wife isn't happy when she discovers his infidelities, though she tries to hide it under a cool facade of patience. Then there's Steve (Eddie Fisher), Gloria's long time friend. You can't really tell what Steve is feeling since Eddie's performance is so weak and so-o-o bad. He comes off like a mama's boy. Too soft-spoken, too conforming to whatever situation he may find himself in. Steve's girlfriend, Norma (Susan Oliver), isn't happy that Gloria seems to be always hanging around Steve's apartment everytime she visits. It's a tale of gloom and doom for all except for the happy 'clients' when Gloria is around. You get this gut feeling that something bad is bound to happen. Especially when a happy Gloria goes to her psychiatrist and tells him she doesn't need him anymore because she is in love. That feeling is cemented further when she voices the same sentiment to her mother. Then the feeling really takes root when a drunken Liggett insults her and treats her roughly in public. At that point, you know there is no recovery. Finally, the total letdown when you're proven right. Leaves a bitter taste, but hey, you knew it was coming...so predictable!

There are a few scenes that are worthwhile...Like Gloria brushing her teeth with scotch the morning after; The sarcastic exchanges between Gloria and her mother's friend; Gloria standing motionless as Liggett throws the mink coat at her while his wife is looking undetected from the window above. All in all it was a fun film....predictable, but fun because Ms. Taylor came across as the outstanding actor that she was. The one true constant that remained from seeing the movie years ago and now - was Liz's unchanging beauty. She still looked as beautiful as I remembered when I first saw the film. If you are a Taylor fan, you will no doubt enjoy this.

This may not be the greatest melodrama ever filmed, but the performances of the stars are very good.
The acting alone is enough to hold the viewers’ interest. Elizabeth Taylor actually gives one of her better performances here. Worth seeing.

Elizabeth Taylor won her first Academy Award because of her performance as Gloria Wondrass. I purchased this video because I always wanted BUTTERFIELD 8 for my own personal collection. Tried to see it on TCM, but always showed it either after midnight or in the early morning hours. This film is based upon a true story of a call girl named STARR FAITHFULL. All though it was written by John O'Hara in 1935, as a novel, it was a shock to find out that this was a true story. Taylor and Lawrence Harvey were A* in their performances. Elizabeth was really riveting, especially since, SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER, her last film, at that time(1959). Betty Field, Mildred Dunnick and Dina Merrill were excellent as supporting Elizabeth's acting, but the true surprise was EDDIE FISHER! As Steve, Fisher truly proved that he was more than a song and dance man. Susan Oliver was great as Fisher's girlfriend. An added note: the film was shot near my home town of Valley Cottage, NY. Scenes of the opening of the Thruway and the Tappan Zee Bridge was a real thrill. A truly mesmerizing film!

5.0 out of 5 stars Did Elizabeth Taylor Deserve the Oscar?
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018

Elizabeth Taylor didn't want to play the part of "practically a prostitute" Gloria Wandrous but had to make 1 more film to fulfill her MGM contract. Lawrence Harvey is powerful and believable as the man who (at least temporarily) rescues Gloria from a life of guzzling liquor and bed hopping. It's my favorite kind of story--every character is miserable. Trivia: In the scene when Gloria gets out of the shower to talk to Ligget, turn the volume all the way up. She can be heard on the other end of the phone "...tearing my dress and leaving me MONEY you mother-f------!" This film has been bashed for decades, I think it's a lot of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Butterfield 8 demonstrates tragically that to be respected is far better than to be loved!
Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2019

I've always been an Elizabeth Taylor fan (I know she hated to be called: 'Liz'; so, in deference to her wishes, I will refer to her as 'Elizabeth')... I've enjoyed virtually every movie, and play she was in: Of course, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Taming of the Shrew" are some of my top favorites; but the reason I liked Butterfield 8 (although as I recall Elizabeth Taylor did not!) is because it is so raw, so full of biting, cutting emotion (in a different sense than the other two productions I just mentioned!)... Butterfield 8 is particularly poignant as it involves a critical failure to be understood, to be accepted, to be loved, and perhaps most of all: to be respected! Many people maintain that to be respected is far more important than even to be loved! And I think that Butterfield 8 proves that point, albeit, most tragically!

I loved this film. I've been trying to get a copy for years. Normally either too expensive and/or suitable for USA viewing only. Liz Taylor looks gorgeous with all her wonderful designer clothes. One drawback I noticed the subtitles appear to have been written by someone who doesn't speak English or misunderstands - like they were not originally part of the film but added later. A few examples are - the word "shy" was used at one point instead of "why". And things like "do not" instead of the abbreviated word of "don't" used by the actors. And "desume" instead of "presume". Sometimes half of the subtitle dialogue was missing or differed totally from what the actors were saying. Very odd. Laurence Harvey's dialogue was very 'B picture' and corny. But it didn't put me off the film. I still enjoyed it a lot.
