    Boom!

    Reviewed by

    BOOM from 1968 from the drama of Tennessee Williams is such a BOMB literally unwatchable. Burton and especially Taylor are so miscast, simply riding on their once universal popularity that it is a fiasco from beginning to end. The original Broadway cast starred Hermione Baddley which shows how ridiculous Joseph Losey's casting was. Truly an abomination of a film like many others of the era with Burton and Taylor simply slumming. It's amazing that Liz Taylor's career has withstood with the overwhelming number of horrendous, adult films she made, the good ones relatively few in number. However, her humanitarian work especially with AIDS and a notorious public life have guaranteed her immortality. I liked her very much, but, as said, the rotten films which were ripped apart by critics led her to taking fewer and fewer films roles while still in the prime of her career. Frankly, I don't think she herself could tolerate the lousy nature of the majority of her films which she acknowledged as garbage from as far back as BUTTERFIELD 8 for which she won a most UNDESERVING Oscar.
