I watched it last night and was very disappointed. Monty overdid the brooding to such a laughable extent, it bordered on parody. Shelly's performance was stilted and amateurish, very much like most of the other actors. The only saving grace for the movie is Elizabeth Taylor. I felt she carried the movie with her exemplary, natural performance. I wasn't even that impressed with the direction. A highly overrated movie.
