The British-born Elizabeth Taylor was the quintessential Hollywood screen goddess. The Welsh-born Richard Burton was one of the most compelling British actors of his generation. Together, they were a perfect storm of talent, glamour, and offscreen scandal, which made even their lesser films essential viewing for those fascinated by cinema's royal couple. This four-film set captures the prolific couple at the height of their 1960s heyday. The essential entry is Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966), which earned Taylor an Academy Award, and launched the film directing career of Mike Nichols. This adaptation of Edward Albee's searing play was ahead of its time for its use of profanity, as chronicled in bonus featurettes on this two-disc Special Edition. Taylor and Burton star as the braying Martha, a college president's daughter, and her husband George, an associate history professor. An ambitious teacher (George Segal) and his mousy wife (a heartbreaking Sandy Dennis) arrive for an unforgettable night of such emasculating sport as "Humiliate the Host," "Get the Guests," and "Hump the Hostess." The V.I.P.s (1963) is a star-studded soap opera about a group of notables stranded at a fog-shrouded airport, each desperate to get off the ground. In addition to Orson Welles as a film director trying to stay one step ahead of the British tax man and Margaret Rutherford (who earned an Academy Award) as a financially strapped duchess, we have Taylor as the unhappy wife of magnate Burton, set to elope with a reformed (?) gigolo (Louis Jordan). The Sandpiper (1965) is one of those vaunted enjoyable "golden turkeys" that at least has the beautiful Big Sur coast and the Oscar-winning song "The Shadow of Your Smile" as consolation for the silly illicit romance between Taylor, an unconvincing bohemian artist, and Burton, the tortured Episcopalian reverend to whose school Taylor's illegitimate son has been sent. The Comedians (1967) is hardly a laughing matter. Graham Greene adapted his novel of upheaval in Papa Doc-run Haiti. You have to jump 40 years to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to find another couple with Taylor and Burton's wattage. This collection gives a time capsule glimpse at what all the fuss was about. --Donald Liebenson

5 out of 5 stars Timeless, nostalgic film excellence.......2007-06-12

I can hardly say enough good about this boxed set -- there's not a clinker in the bunch. My two personal favorites are The V.I.P.s and The Comedians. The latter was Graham Greene's Opus magnus and Burton and Taylor pull it off with brilliance, finesse, and pure craft excellence. The story is generally about Papa Doc's reign of terror in Haiti (Burton owns a hotel there) and Taylor is an ambassador's wife whom, of course, has a torrid, running affair with Burton. There's a lot of action in this film, more than I ever expected. Honestly, I really love this film and watch it frequently. The V.I.P.s is bulging with major stars of the period, including Orson Wells, and the story is a good one -- Burton is a multi-millionaire whose wife (Taylor) is leaving him for a well-known gigilo.... sort of. Through a comedy of errors, Burton discovers his wife's treachery at the last minute before she can leave England and tries to win her back, at the airport and at a nearby hotel, (they get fogged in), over the next 12 hours. The viewer really cannot anticipate what is going to happen from one moment to the next. The cinematography is especially impressive and the numerous sub-plots are both amusing and dramatic. One of the most satisfying films I've ever seen, reminicent of "Hotel". I won't dwell on the remaining films of the set except to say that they're equally fine movies. These films represent some of Hollywood's finest moments. I cannot recommend the set highly enough, especially for hard-core film buffs.

4 out of 5 stars When they were good...they were very, very good...........2007-05-12

As a great admirer of Richard Burton's filmwork, I snatched this set up immediately. All the films, save for Vicente Minnelli's "The Sandpiper" held my interest throughout, with "Virginia Woolf" and "The Comedians" (based on the Graham Greene novel) taking top honors.

"The VIPs" was a pleasant surprise as I was completely unfamilar with this Burton/Taylor venture. Supporting cast is excellent with Rod Taylor, Louis Jourdan (as Tayor's lover), and the unmistakably impressive Orson Welles, in a semi-comedic role opposite Elsa Martinelli.

Melodrama to be sure, but done with class, wit, and an engaging storyline that holds one's interest throughout its entire 119 minutes. It is amazing how some actors, like Burton and Taylor can take a relatively bit of fluff from Terrence Rattigan's screenplay, and transform it into something absorbing and grand.

What makes these films work? One would have to argue that the chemistry between Burton and Taylor in so many of their films was unmistakable; certainly Mike Nichol's "Virginia Woolf" is a masterpiece, but these are performers who have a intrinsic quality that is rarely seen in actors today--I think we would call it PRESENCE--players ultimately in command of their material and the roles they play who make acting seem effortless and entirely convincing. Burton is a master of roles. He can play the burnt-out professor in "Virginia Woolf" as well as a conflicted, upstanding minister and school headmaster whose life, contrained as his clerical collar, tempts an extramarital affair with the free-spirited mother (Taylor) of one of his students in "The Sandpiper."

The commentaries and extras on "Virginia Woolf" are both ample and exemplary, while shedding a new critical light on this classic play.

3 out of 5 stars Could have been packaged much better.......2007-04-04

A nice collection, but rather cheaply presented. Slimline DVD cases without any booklets in them (not so much as even an insert) which i think is indicative of a lack of interest (in the name of costcutting) by warnervideo in making this DVD set the great package it could have been. It really is a slap in the face to open any dvd to find there is no supplemental reading booklet, and with a full-priced box set, you just don't expect (or i don't) that corners be cut when supplemental material on the high profile Burtons could have been unearthed and included.
The Vincente Minnelli directed 'The Sandpiper' visually is a gorgeous movie, as was every Minnelli film I've ever seen. What an artistic eye he possessed. Elizabeth is very good as the single mother bohemian artist.
'The V.I.P.s' is noteable for the early, excellent Maggie Smith performance as a secretary in love with her boss, played excellently by Rod Taylor. And Margaret Rutherford won the best supporting actress Oscar for this movie- Maggie Smith, Rod Taylor and Ruthersford really have the best roles in the picture. There's an unbelievable plotline that Elizabeth Taylor as 'Frances' is having an affair with Louis Jordan but has never had sex with him, it just doesn't play- especially as 'Frances' is planning to divorce her husband (Burton) for this man she's never even slept with. Burton does some fine and fierce acting; his line reading of 'Is he really all that much better than me" (in bed) to Taylor about his rival has a chilling intimacy that DOES ring true, unlike the chaste "affair" between 'Frances' and the worldly Jordan.
The classic ' Virginia Woolf' has been written about a lot by many, I have not much to add, just that the most impressive (to me) DVD extra is the stunning screentest of Sandy Dennis, even more impressive than her Oscar winning supporting performance in the movie.
I haven't finished watching the fourth movie, 'The Comedians' so can't really comment about it.
But I stand by my opinion that it is crummy to have no booklet, at roughly $50 for these 4 movies--it's just called for, to have it not appear as cheaply manufactured.

5 out of 5 stars Liz Taylor/Richard Burton Film Collection.......2007-03-14

Received it very fast and well happy with them, haven't looked at all of them yet but very happy with the ones I have watched. Would recommend this collection for any Liz Taylor fans

4 out of 5 stars A little overstimate.......2007-02-13

Taylor is a star, a great star like Sophia Loren but, for exemple, "The Comedians" is boring. The best is somewhere, and with Losey she was geatest, but "Who's afraid" rest a good performance and a great melo. Burton as the theatrical presence.

I have been buying from Amazon for the last four months and to date i can recommend readers to buy from Amazon because they are safe realable thanks keep it up John Fenech

    2 out of 5 stars Adequate quality, one classic, some nuggests........2006-12-26

    Classics is less applicable here than in most of the other entries in this 50 movie pack series. However, the quality of sound and pictures is adequate,equal to what one expected to see in the early days of television when studios were still withholding their films from the competitive medium.For one interested in the history of film, the Doug Fairbanks (Sr) films are both enjoyable and neceesary viewing, as would be the Brix Tarzan,the Margaret Lockwood/Boris Karloff, British Intelligence, and a few others.
    Probably the Sacco-Vanzetti case does not resonate with younger viewers but for those still moved by it, the film version of Maxwell Anderson's, Winterset, is a nostalgic classic, starring Burgess Meredith and Margo, from the original stage production.
    For those with relatively limited funds, I would advise steering clear of this oneand spending your money on some of the other 50 packs which offer more meat and less filler. For those whose budget is not stringent, there are a sufficent number of films worth viewing to justify the expenditure if one can get it at the discounted price available from some of the Amazon associated sellers. I paid $12.59, including shipping charges, which makes me comfortable with the inadequacies of the set.

    1 out of 5 stars false advertising.......2006-12-13

    I ordered this movie pack specifically to watch the movie Manhunt, aka From Hell to Texas, with Don Murray, Chill Wills, and Dennis Hopper. Despite the fact the product says this is the movie on the DVD, it is in fact not. There is some goofy C grade movie in its place with no explanation.

    I would not recommed this product.

        1 out of 5 stars JUNK.......2007-04-19

        I can't understand why the powers that be
        would bring thia piece of c**p out on dvd
        and completely ignore that terrific gem
        TELEPHON.I am not a big Bronson fan,but
        his performance along with Lee Remick
        in Telephon was great.

        1 out of 5 stars the movies are ok,but the transfers are the pits!!!!!.......2006-06-13

        i'd give the three movies in order
        1.cold sweat=2 1/2
        2.guns of diablo=3
        3.someone behind the door=2
        i give this hopless transfer no stars as they look like they fished their copy out of the river before they dubed it. skip this and look for better copies!!!!

        3 out of 5 stars Multiple Early Facets of Charles Bronson..........2006-03-20

        The 1st of this trilogy, "Guns of Diablo," apparently a 1964(?) piece, is somewhat reminicient of a milder version of "The Magnificent Seven," also starring Susan Oliver. "Cold Sweat," a 1970 movie, is much more traditional Bronson, with more suspense, and a spectacular car chase. The last of the three presented, "Someone Behind The Door," a 1971 release, has a rather frustrating, twisted plot, limiting useage of Bronson's best acting talents. Overall, this is an interesting smorgasboard for comparison to Bronson's later, superior works.
