LIZ AND DICK: BACK IN STYLE ON
DVD
The ultimate glam couple of the Swinging Sixties was undoubtedly Burton and
Taylor. Their scandalous love affair swept the continents during the making of Cleopatra.
Burton may have been cast as Marc Antony, but to the cuckolded Eddie Fisher, he might well have
been born to play Brutus. Burton took method acting to the extreme by wooing his onscreen lover
Elizabeth Taylor into the forbidden love affair of the decade - all the while her hubby Eddie was
joining unit publicists in assuring the world there was no truth to these insulting rumors. This,
despite the fact that the Burton trailer kept-a-rockin' and no one was to come a-knockin' in between
takes.
