X, Y And Zee (1972)

One more tribute to Dame Elizabeh Taylor. Another film with her starring which YouTube is not blocking. The film is copyrighted but the owner allows the content to be on YouTube.

Big, boozy, and beautiful Elizabeth Taylor (as Zee) has an "modern marriage" with London architect Michael Caine (as Robert Blakeley). Their extra-curricular activities aren't too serious. Then, Mr. Caine falls in "love at first sight" with blonde boutique owner Susannah York (as Stella). Caine sets her up in an apartment and plans to leave Ms. Taylor. Sensing a rival who will truly threaten her marriage, Taylor ingratiates herself into her husband's romance - intending to end the affair, or go crazy trying.

Director Brian G. Hutton

Stars: Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine, Susannah York, John Standing and Margaret Leighton.

Music by Stanley Meyers.

During filming, just in the middle of a scene, Dame Elizabeth Taylor shouted "Cut". Director Brian G. Hutton asked Taylor what was going on. She replied that she needed to go to the bathroom. Hutton said he was astonished that the great Elizabeth Taylor needed to go to bathroom, because he thought fairies came and took it away in toothpaste tubes. Taylor laughed.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor had it in her contract that she did not have to start work before 10:00 a.m. She did arrive to the set on time, however, and in a procession of three or four limousines for herself and her entourage.

A bonita e beberrona Zee (Elizabeth Taylor) tem um casamento moderno com o arquiteto londrino Michael Caine (como Robert Blakeley). Suas atividades extracurriculares não são muito sérias. Mas Robert se apaixona em "amor à primeira vista" por uma dona de butique, Stella (Susannah York). Caine a coloca em seu apartamento e planeja deixar Zee. Percebendo que uma rival irá ameaçar seu casamento, Taylor se mete no romance do esposo, pretendendo terminar o caso ou ficar maluca tentando.

Nessa época da sua vida, Liz Taylor já era uma diva. Ela colocava em seu contrato que não trabalhava antes das 10 da manhã. Ela chegava pontualmente aos ensaios, mas com uma procissão de três ou quatro limusines para ela e sua equipe.

Trilha sonora de Stanley Meyers, o mesmoa genial criador da trilha Cavatina de The Deer Hunter.
