Rueben's Ramblings

The BBC America movie Burton and Taylor will debut at 9 PM on October 16.

Dominic West (The Hour) and Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech) star as Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor — Hollywood’s most volatile on-again-off-again lovers who famously played out every high and low of their love affairs, multiple marriages and divorces right in the public eye.

Recognized as one of the most fascinating, glamorous and tempestuous relationships of the 20th century, Burton and Taylor made their last stage appearance together in the critically reviled 1983 revival of Noel Coward’s stage play, Private Lives. This is the story of their ill-fated reunion, on and off stage.

Here is a trailer for the BBC America movie Burton and Taylor.
