    TV drama based on Richard Burton's diaries, about his last performance in 1983 with ex-wife Elizabeth Taylor. They meet after several years and he agrees to her suggestion that they star in a stage revival on Broadway of Noel Coward's comedy 'Private Lives', although Elizabeth Taylor has never before performed on stage.

The play opens to a critical trashing, but is popular with audiences because they just want to see Taylor.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Robert Hardy, a veteran character actor and an old friend of Burton, described West's performance as "hopeless," saying he "wasn't tough enough, he wasn't dangerous enough, he wasn't Welsh enough." However, he appreciated Bonham-Carter's performance, saying she was "brilliant, absolutely brilliant" because she "got the spirit of her and sounded like her."

Helena Bonham Carter plays Elizabeth Taylor, who was married to a famous Burton [Richard Burton]. In real life, Bonham Carter was in a relationship with another famous Burton [Tim Burton] for over 10 years.

Elizabeth Taylor was previously married to Eddie Fisher, the father of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) star Carrie Fisher. Dominic West appeared in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999).

Lucille Sharp's debut.

Popular Dialogues

"Elizabeth Taylor: Where did my Antony go? Remember? The man who would've risked everything for me - who did! He tossed it all against the rocks so he could be with me. Where did he go, Richard? Tell me where my FUCKING Antony went!"

"[Elizabeth is being escorted out of her room, sobbing hysterically] Richard Burton: What's going on? Elizabeth! Chen Sam: Leave her. She's poorly. We're getting her straight back to the apartment. Richard Burton: There's nothing wrong with her. Chen Sam: She's sick. Richard Burton: Really? Well if she is, take it from one who knows: she's got it from a bloody bottle! Chen Sam: Can you blame her? You treat her like shit! She finds out you're married from a newspaper article; you criticize her as an actress... Richard Burton: What? Chen Sam: You! Richard Burton: I have NEVER criticized her as an actress, she is PEERLESS as an actress. Jesus! [pause] Richard Burton: You call that acting, out there? It's like a bloody pantomime dame tripping over all her lines - I know she can act, I know better than anyone! Which is why I'm not gonna TOLERATE that any more! Chen Sam: In which case, maybe you'll leave her alone once and for all. Because Miss Taylor was fine until you took this job; she was well until you decided to come back into her life again. Now why you did that, only you can know for sure, but from here, it looks like it was for one reason only: to break her heart. [Richard is left broken and reeling from these words]"
