John Huston's "Reflections in a Golden Eye" with Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor

It's dreadful, and too ponderous for good camp. But one look won't kill you as much as it did....

I won't give it away.

One of my all-time favorite films. Brando lusting for naked Robert Forrester. Julie Harris and her houseboy. Liz, "Garden shears! Garden shears!?"

It’s too bad Montgomery Clift died before filming began.

See it, OP. It's not the best picture ever, but it's not the worst. And it's bold. Very adult. An interesting film whose reach probably exceeds its grasp, a serious film nonetheless.

It’s a perfectly fine film.

Let us know if you get the full color version or the gold version that seems to be filmed with Josh Logan's old filters from SOUTH PACIFIC.

Cutting off her nipples with garden shears - you call that normal?

Some parts are better than others.

Thought Brando nailed the role of the uptight, repressed closet case

My mother and I saw this. Also saw Secret Ceremony. And they wondered how I “turned” gay.

This thread reminded me of The Only Game in Town - it's EXCELLENT. People are and were cunty about it, but I love it.

And it's on YT. Take a look.

Five foot tall Liz Taylor as a Las Vegas show girl. It's hilarious.

^ that's not important and you don't see her dancing.

"Bareback, and BARE-ASSED!"

--Liz, licking her lips over Robert Forster riding her horse in the nude

Of course it's important. It's her job. It's why she's in Las Vegas. It defines much of her life. And Liz is spectacularly ill-suited to that job.

There is a stupid and clumsy disemboded dance sequence with close ups on Liz's face. All because her body is impossible for the role.

Reflection and his performance in the underrated Night of the Following Day (ditto Richard Boone) obliterate all the shitty films he made in the 60s, the worst being The Appaloosa. Monty would have brought a different quality, not as emotionally open as Brando, but intensely and creatively interesting. Brando's mirror breakdown scene is simply brilliant, as was Monty's superb performance in Huston's Freud. Overlooked and dazzling.

Correction: "Reflections"

R15 from the NY Times review 'Stevens cuts to a tight close-up of the actresses' face bouncing up and down as if the rest of her was on an exercycle'

I love this insane mess of a movie, but I can only imagine how good Montgomery Clift would have been in the lead.......
