Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor

The film, which was directed by Waris Hussein, from a script by John Hopkins, was originally presented in a two-part broadcast on U.S. television on February 6–7, 1973 (appearing on the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of the ABC Movie of the Week), although it was theatrically released in France in 1974.[1] The critic Clive James wrote after the television screening in Britain: "After movies as monumentally lousy as Bluebeard and Hammersmith is Out it was good to see Burton chipping some of the rust off his technique."[2]
