It may have looked good on paper, but mounting a remake of the
Tennessee Williams play (and previous feature film with Geraldine Page
and Paul Newman) starring Taylor turned out to be a fairly poor idea.
She plays a famous movie star who runs screaming from the premiere of
her first film in seven years when she catches a glimpse of her aging
