Burton and Liz Taylor were good, and the movie got a raft of Oscars and noms, including Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress (Sandy Dennis). But it's much better on the stage. Not quite right as a movie. I watched it disappointed: nothing could match the amazing play experience. I remember standing around at intermission time dazed, awestruck, looking at other people and thinking, Isn't this amazing? You can't imagine. It was revolutionary to hear dialogue like this on the stage back then.
