Taylor won an Oscar for her role in this, but holds the movie in scant regard compared to the rest of her work. And with good reason.

"Mama face it, I was the slut of all time," Liz Taylor's hooker confronts her mother, and that's pretty much sums up the nature of this glossy, trashy melodrama that Hollywood used to make until TV appropriated the genre.

Under director Daniel Mann's guidance it is an extremely sexy and intimate film, but the intimacy is only skin deep, the sex only a dominating behavior pattern.

Though it's generally true that nothing dates faster than Hollywood's idea of what's daring, Butterfield 8 can be viewed as a fascinating artifact from the days when movie stars' offscreen myths were carefully woven into their on-screen roles.

Mostly crap, but Elizabeth Taylor is hot

The dialogue is rough. Let's say O'Harrowing. And the ending is absurd. But so is most of it for that matter. It's the living it up that gets you in this film.

Taylor's heralded performance as the archetypal hooker ('the slut of all time!') with a heart of gold is a bit overrated.

It's just about as awful as you'd expect, despite the presence of two first-class screenwriter.

Glossy trash with the star at full throttle, it's the quintessental La Liz movie.
