    "Oh you,weak beautiful people who give up with such grace ...."
    Having seen before,like many others ,Richard Brooks 's theatrically released version of the famous play starring Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, I was skeptical ,but I had to make amends .This is superior MTV stuff.

    Laurence Olivier and Maureen Stapleton are imperial but they let their younger co-stars shine : the first part belongs to Natalie Wood ,a dazzling beautiful Maggie , a performance which compares favorably with Taylor's :desperately hoping to save her marriage , going as far as to lie in a world where mendacity reigns .I had my doubts as far as Robert Wagner was concerned ,but the second part is his ,matching Olivier every step of the way ,not a small feat,and finding the very right way to utter the final line (" wouldn't it be funny if that was true?).

    All Tennessee Williams' admirers must see it.
