 Here's a must-view! Your gut will ache from laughing so hard, and your jaw may dislocate from the many times it drops in disbelief. It stars Liz Taylor at the absolute nadir of her career, with an unbelievably unfortunate hairdo and a wardrobe of rainbow-hued fashion don'ts. She overacts at the slightest provocation, whether it be berating an assistant at a dress shop (for daring to try to sell her a stain-resistant dress), an airport security guard (for daring to ask her to check her hand luggage) or a hotel cleaning-woman (for daring to leave a dirty glass in her room). The script was cobbled together by two Italians, presumably with the aid of an Italian-English dictionary and a Berlitz tape, while Liz delivers even the worst lines as though they were written by Edward Albee. You'll be quoting this film for weeks afterward, to wit: "I don't...want...sex with you!" "I...hate...rice!" "This may look like a purse, but actually IT'S A BOMB!" "I can't STAND being TOUCHED!" "You're all so suspicious! Suspicious! SUSPICIOUS!" "When I diet, I diet...and when I orgasm, I orgasm!" "Just stick to your yin and your yang!" And that's only the beginning. See Liz lie on her hotel bed and fondle her breasts! See Liz shoplift a hideous scarf. See Liz fend off an awkward pass by a creepy guy in a pair of zip-front coveralls! See her follow up by stealing his car! See Liz ask Ian Bannen to tie her up! See Liz make goo-goo eyes at robotic Andy Warhol! See interviews with minor characters who spot Liz, who's wanted by several international secret police organizations! Why? Don't ask, you never find out anyway. Incidentally, if you have trouble finding the video, it's also under the titles "Psychotic" and "Identikit". Worth the rental...totally weird and hilarious.
