Gloria Wondrous awakens in a luxurious bedroom that's not hers. She swallows a jolt of distilled courage, tosses aside $250 left by an admirer, leaves a scornful reply in lipstick on the mirror, dials her service for messages and slips into a mink coat she finds in the closet. The day and the movie are off to a roaring start. Moviegoers and Hollywood left a message of "Hurrah!" for Elizabeth Taylor and Butterfield 8.

Gloria Wondrous awakens in a luxurious bedroom that's not hers. She swallows a jolt of distilled courage, tosses aside $250 left by an admirer, leaves a scornful reply in lipstick on the mirror, dials her service for messages and slips into a mink coat she finds in the closet. The day and the movie are off to a roaring start. Moviegoers and Hollywood left a message of "Hurrah!" for Elizabeth Taylor and Butterfield 8. Audiences made the film, co-starring Laurence Harvey and Eddie Fisher as a married lover and platonic friend who matter to Gloria, a box-office hit. And Taylor won her first Best Actress Academy Award as a woman whose life comes with a complete set of emotional baggage. For a glossy, good time, don't call. Watch.
Leave your thoughts about BUtterfield 8.
| Austin ChronicleStephen MacMillan MoserWhen Liz is good, she's very, very good, but when she's bad, she gives it all she's got. Director Daniel Mann definitely had a way with leading ladies. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullTaylor's heralded performance as the archetypal hooker ('the slut of all time!') with a heart of gold is a bit overrated. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrIt's just about as awful as you'd expect, despite the presence of two first-class screenwriters. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel Levy"Mama face it, I was the slut of all time," Liz Taylor's hooker confronts her mother, and that's pretty much sums up the nature of this glossy, trashy melodrama that Hollywood used to make until TV appropriated the genre. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe dialogue is rough. Let's say O'Harrowing. And the ending is absurd. But so is most of it for that matter. It's the living it up that gets you in this film. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLawrence O'TooleTaylor’s work is several notches above the botched material, adapted from the John O’Hara novel. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewOnce thought of as racy and adventurous in its treatment of sex, this turgid nonsense about a high-class whore with love in her heart has dated atrociously. |
| User ReviewMike BAt her peak, there was no one sexier than Elizabeth Taylor. |
| User Reviewsherrie wI do watch this move over and over. I love it. |
| User ReviewDavid SLiz got her first oscar for this! It's hard not to love this movie. |
