Elizabeth Taylor Retrospective
Join us one Saturday each month at 6 PM for a big-screen celebration at the Historic Camelot Theatre at the Palm Springs Cultural Center. Each screening is preceded by a 5 PM pre-show featuring vintage film ephemera from the year of the film’s release.
The series is hosted and introduced by author and film historian Matthew Kennedy (On Elizabeth Taylor: An Opinionated Guide). Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing at the screenings, courtesy of Best Bookstore Palm Springs.
Rediscover Elizabeth Taylor as she was meant to be seen—on the big screen.
BUtterfield 8 (1960)
Director: Daniel Mann
Starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Laurence Harvey, Eddie Fisher
A Manhattan call girl trapped in a cycle of self-destruction begins a tentative relationship with a married man, only to find escape far more complicated than expected. The film is a blunt, adult melodrama about shame, desire, and the limits of reinvention.
Taylor famously won her first Oscar for this role, even though she was ambivalent about the film itself. Seen today, her performance is raw, volatile, and committed. BUtterfield 8 is proof that even in material Taylor didn’t love, she could overpower the screen with sheer force of presence.
