Liz hated this film.

Butterfield 8 is pure camp, plain and simple! Elizabeth Taylor is the best thing in this uneven film, she won her first Oscar. Her character is anything but an angel, she drinks, swears, sleeps around with every man in town. I heard that Taylor tried to get out of making this film but she is a great actress so she knew she could pull this off. The ending is tragic and who said Eddie Fisher could act?! Definitely a movie to watch on a rainy afternoon. April 18, 2008

Favorite

Lola Ray

Although I've always loved Elizabeth Taylor in all her movies, I believe Butterfield 8 is my very favorite. Here, she was at the zenith of her beauty - My opinion - I never thought her more beautiful and talented. And her acting, of course, was nothing less the superb. She is and always has been one of my favorite actors. Definitely five stars. I'd give it ten if I could.

Sandra E. Waldron is the author of "Lola Ray" and "The Demise of Sarah Mae: Murder in the Swamp" among other novels, and has shorts in the Amazon Shorts section. December 17, 2007

Romantic Drama

The girl , Elizabeth Taylor has dated gentlemen from nearly every ivy league university.

Her life is complex. She has problems.

She leaves her mother. Mother's instincts say "I have the feeling I'll never see you again". August 11, 2007

Boring movie in parts, shocking ending...

I admit, this didn't hold my interest very well. I didn't even like her in the role of a high-class prostitute. A lot of Elizabeth Taylor movies were not very good, but I expected better than this, considering she won the Academy Award for it. But it did have a few good moments, I'll give it that. The ending was a shocker and I won't reveal it; you certainly don't expect it. July 21, 2007

HOT!! HOT!! HOT!!

I saw SOME of this movie as a child and was told to leave the room because it was for "grown ups"..Well I knew I had to have it and
I am glad that I got it..This movie is filled w/allll of the good stuff..
extra martial affairs, alcohol abuse, love, hate, greed and class.

Ms. Taylor is at her best, this movie is fabulous!! I have given it to friends to watch and EVERYONE raves about how they cannot believe this movie was made in 1960...gritty and charming!! March 8, 2007
