As they get acquainted, they confront their various problems. Oscar-winner Elizabeth Taylor ("Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?") stars in this insightful drama as an American wife about to leave her husband, Richard Burton ("The Spy Who Came in from the Cold," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"), for her lover, Louis Jordan ("Gigi"). Also starring Oscar-winner Maggie Smith ("A Room with a View," "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie"), Oscar-winner Orson Welles ("Citizen Kane," "Touch of Evil"), and Rod Taylor ("The Birds," "The Time Machine"). Margaret Rutherford received an Oscar for her supporting role as the troubled Duchess of Brighton.

(1954) Frankie Howerd, Margaret Rutherford, Petula Clark, George Coulouris. A top mystery comedy with Howerd as a bus driver who picks up a busload at a Brit airport. Aboard is a bank robber and his loot. Things get tense when the bus runs into thick fog and becomes stranded in the gloomy English countryside. Clark was ten years away from Downtown. Rutherford is priceless. Video quality is vastly superior to other DVD releases of this title. From a nice 16mm original print.
