Quotes:
Weston Liggett:
I've been kind of busy.
Man: Yeah, I heard. I heard. That's the kind of busy-ness I wouldn't mind having - again!
Weston Liggett: What are you talking about?
Man: Oh, come on, Ligget, come on! Hunh? Gloria!
[Puts his arm around him]
Man: Hunh? Sure! Oh, she's... she's frantic! Isn't she like a rocket right off the Earth? Who should know better than yours truly? Ooohhh, mother, help me! I'd have left home for that. Nah... she's got a traveling itch; she's like a flea. Hop, hop, hop from one dog to another. She bites you, and she's gone. She picks you up and she drops you.

This is a very great film because Elizabeth Taylor,(Gloria Wandrous),"Night Watch",'73, played her role as a whore to perfection. Gloria was an abused child who had to over come the mental pain that she carried around in her mind. Eddie Fisher, "Nothing Lasts Forever",'84,was a very very close friend who allowed Gloria to crash at his pad and was like a brother to her and listened to her darkest secrets and fears! Laurence Harvey,"Life At the Top",65 was a playboy who was married to a very rich woman that seemed to tolerate his playing around with other women. There are a great deal of twists and turns as to just where Gloria is going to wind up! Elizabeth Taylor was very beautiful and at the height of her career. ENJOY!
