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.
Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967)
Director: John Huston
Starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Julie Harris
Set on a Southern military base, this strange, hypnotic drama explores homosexual repression, obsession, and emotional isolation through a series of simmering, unstable relationships. Huston leans into atmosphere and psychological unease, creating a film that feels both dreamlike and dangerous.
Taylor, in her fearless late ‘60s phase, plays against comfort and expectation, embracing the film’s emotional extremes. It’s a key role in her period of deliberate risk-taking, when she traded polish for provocation and proved she was a star willing to unsettle audiences.
