Another girl "ill with a heart of gold" which won the Elizabeth Taylor's magnificent history first Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar in 1961 (one for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" In 1966). The transparency of the ridiculous name of his character ("Gloria Wandrous") aside, Taylor brings a vulnerability to implosive its role is difficult to match.

The main actor Laurence Harvey, playing the rich seducer Weston Liggett is probably one that taught how Clint Eastwood squint. Tall, thin and heavy smoker (like all men in a film of the 60s), Liggett gets more than he bargained for when he falls in love with the part-time model and part time call girl Gloria, who could be reached through the 8 "Butterfield" telephone exchange (see info from phone to the end of this review).

The two main characters are broken by feelings of shame and guilt and are looking for a certain authenticity in their lives, despite themselves.

Gloria makes a living by sleeping with men for leadership class in Manhattan and has its own 15 minutes of fame under the sun posing for photographers Magazine as a model for famous fashion houses.

But when she wakes up one morning in his bed with an expensive Liggett $ 250 got left on the bedside table, she goes crazy. Imagine, a call girl who is insulted for getting paid - even if Liggett explains in one scene later that the money was for her dress was torn last night.

But Gloria does Hooker "happy" at all. It is painful to have lied to his mother and not living the standards of his mother. The life she leads is an obvious source of shame for her (and therefore the involvement of a "heart of gold").

Moreover, the latest in a "talking head" scene Gloria unloads his secrets on the childhood of his former lover and confidant current Steve Carpenter (Eddie Fisher, who was actually married to Elizabeth Taylor when this film was shot) which plays a struggling songwriter living in a one room apartment.

In this scene, we learn that Gloria had a sexual relationship with a friend of the family (an uncle), when she was a teenager, and she really loved. This created a sense of guilt that she could never shake and then (presumably) has led to its current line of work as a call girl. That's why she hates all the men she beds while exploiting their wealth and connections.

Liggett, on the other hand, is a chemical engineer who rose to his current position in life not according to his own personal merits, but by marrying rich. His patrician wife Emily (played to perfection by Dina Merrill) was protected against the vagaries of real life by the wealth of his family. For a very long time, she fails to understand the storm that raged within her husband in the conflict.

Liggett, tormented by fears that it could be a fake, is also saddened to realize that Gloria has bedded almost all men of achievement and money in Manhattan. His specialty is "Ivy League" old "and it goes through these schools by alphabetical order. Therefore it is depressed by the fact that it has reached Yale and then the end of the alphabet. Jealousy is a result of Liggett began to lose it. Her character begins as a control freak who can handle anything with some sweet talk arrogant, money and that look suspicious. At the end we see it as a basket case, unable to control the Centri.
