Directed by Vincente Minnelli • 1965 • United States
Starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Eva Marie Saint

Ultimate celebrity power couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton bring their supernova star power to this spectacularly sudsy romance coscripted by formerly blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and set against the stunning seaside vistas of California’s bohemian Big Sur beach community.

Burton is the married Episcopalian minister with whom she unexpectedly sparks, igniting a passionate affair that forces him to reconsider his traditionalist values.
