Product Description

Laura Reynolds (Elizabeth Taylor) is a free spirit, living in rustic bohemian splendor in an oceanfront Big Sur home. Minister Edward Hewitt (Richard Burton), a school headmaster, lives a life as constrained as his clerical collar. Now his world is changing. Blessed with a devoted wife (Eva Marie Saint), he must come to terms with his love for another woman. Any guess who she is? Love was in the air. So was music, in the form of 1965's Oscar -winning Best Song "The Shadow of Your Smile." And fans were in theatres, eager to witness on-screen the charismatic chemistry that made Taylor and Burton the decade's most scrutinized off-screen couple. Academy Award winner* Vincente Minnelli (Gigi, An American in Paris) directs this bittersweet tale that was one of its year's top box-office hits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dramatic Romance with Two Great Movie Stars
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023
Verified Purchase
A romance between two imperfect but good people having to deal with the “hand that’s dealt them” in life.

Two of the last two great movie stars of the 60’s, 50’s and 40’s: Elizabeth Taylor and Ricard Burton. Interesting to see what the artists’ community was sort of like in the early 60’s in Big Sur.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Allow Beauty to Overshadow Substance
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
Elizabeth Taylor was always praised for her beauty, and rightly so. She was indeed a most glorious creature to behold. Her brilliant acting was too often overlooked, and I think that is very sad. Some of her monologues in this movie are so telling that one could almost see into the depths of her soul. One reviewer mentioned "philosophy" in describing her acting in this role, and I must agree. There was something lonely in her, I think, and all the accolades in the world could never erase that inner pain. I believe it showed throughout her life, but she did not intentionally reveal it, nor did she intentionally hide it. Rather, she allowed it, which, for me, made her all the more genuine. Despite anything bad ever said about her, I do believe the good in her (and the good that she did) outshone anything else. Sometimes, it was if she were cursed with beauty, because some individuals (and the public in general) seemed never to see beyond her remarkable face -- especially during her prime. Don't deny yourself this movie -- take time to see Elizabeth, really see her; and watch her movements, the castaway glances; enjoy more than just her looks. Sometimes, one has to look away from the image on the screen to relish the nuances of her voice and what she is really saying. Watching this movie twice has its advantages. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A small classic.
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020

Remember when movies actually portrayed adult sexual relations, rather than flirty one-liners between actors heavily costumed like kids on Halloween? This is one of those films. It delves into the tensions of a marriage and a love affair of people over thirty with great performances by Burton, Taylor, and Eva Marie Saint. It deals with both morality and the power of passion and the way both coming together can painfully transform us. Burton has never been better--he's always best when he acts the least, as in his amazing rendition of George in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf--and Taylor, though seemingly a little old for the role of the younger woman, is absolutely compelling. Dalton Trumbo's screenplay is intelligent and builds convincingly to its bittersweet conclusion while exploring the social currents of emerging feminism in the early 1960s. Enjoy watching a film made by and for actual adults.

3.0 out of 5 stars Second Time Around
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2014

Saw this film the year it came out and wanted to see it again since I was a big Liz and Richard fan. The photography of the Big Sur area is beautiful. The story is very predictable. Man of the cloth (Richard) becomes interested in the mother of one of the young students in his parochial school. She (Liz) is a painter and a free spirit who does not send her son to school but teaches him at home. This is long before the now-accepted home schooling came to be. Her son is ordered to go to the school by the local authorities when he gets into trouble. The two start an affair but it comes to an end when a "friend" of the pastor intentionally lets is slip in front of the wife that the pastor was not in San Francisco when he was supposed to be. The affair ends and the pastor leaves the area. What happens to his marriage is left up in the air. I felt that Richard Burton's acting was incredible but that Liz over acted in some scenes. Liz is at her most attractive in this film. Her hair is long and loose and gorgeous. While I did enjoy the film, it wasn't as good as I had remembered.

5.0 out of 5 stars dvd sandpiper
Reviewed in Germany on November 9, 2023

nicht umsonst wurde zur damaligen zeit elizabeth taylor "als die schönste frau der welt" bezeichnet. nun,
in diesem film kommt ihre schönheit ganz besonders gut zur geltung. über den inhalt des film werde
ich nicht kommentieren. aber ihr zweimaliger ehemann richard burton paßte zu ihr wie die faust aufs
auge. groß gutaussehend, attraktiv, ein schönes, skandalöses paar. ich mochte die burtons. jede woche
wurde über diese familie in allen zeitungen berichtet. einige habe ich aufgehoben. umsomehr freute ich
mich, daß ich den film "sandpiper" aud dvd kaufen konnte.
immer wieder stöbere ich nach alten filmen, und der eine oder andere, den ich auf vhs kasette hatte,
vielleicht schon auf dvd zu haben ist. leider ist die dvd nicht in deutscher sprache. das stört mich nicht.
da ich der spanisch verstehe, stelle ich den film auf französisch ein mit spanischen untertiteln. den inhalt
kenne ich bereits. eine richtig schöne liebesgeschichte.
