Trailer:
Butterfield Eight
Runtime:109 minutes
Plots:
A beautiful New York model and socialite enjoys a very active night-life, but all things change when she falls for a married man and the consequences are tragic.
Gloria Wondrous awakens in a luxurious bedroom that’s not hers. She swallows a jolt of distilled courage, tosses aside $250 left by an admirer, leaves a scornful reply in lipstick on the mirror, dials her service for messages and slips into a mink coat she finds in the closet. The day and the movie are off to a roaring start. Moviegoers and Hollywood left a message of “Hurrah!” for Elizabeth Taylor and Butterfield 8. Audiences made the film, co-starring Laurence Harvey and Eddie Fisher as a married lover and platonic friend who matter to Gloria, a box-office hit. And Taylor won her first Best Actress Academy Award as a woman whose life comes with a complete set of emotional baggage. For a glossy, good time, don’t call. Watch.
Beautiful Gloria Wandrous (Dame Elizabeth Taylor), a New York City fashion model engages in an illicit affair with married socialite Weston Amsbury Liggett (Laurence Harvey). However, Gloria’s desire for respectability causes her to reconsider her lifestyle.
