Entertainment Reviews:
With lifeless direction and the acting talent all appearing to have off days, this frivolous nonsense makes for depressing viewing.

One of those follies that everyone involved (especially writer Edna O'Brien) must look back on with cringing embarrassment.

Time Out
Elizabeth Taylor and Susannah York both turn in performances that fully capture the excellently conceived characters of Edna O'Brien's original screenplay.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Given free rein by the director, Taylor is clearly having fun with the part. The story alone isn't much, but, inflated by the Taylor hurricane, the movie works as an incredible portrait of a marriage on the rocks.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The movie in this case is no masterpiece, but audiences are having fun at it because it unzips along at a nice, vulgar clip.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Elizabeth Taylor is Zee Blakeley, the wife of eternally philandering Robert (Michael Caine), in this story of swinging Londoners directed by Brian G. Hutton (Where Eagles Dare). When Robert's fancy for the beautiful young widow Stella (Susannah York, Tom Jones) threatens to break up her marriage, Zee takes matters into her own hands to try to gain the advantage in their tumultuous relationship. Taylor plays the vulgar, loud and shrewish wife with great relish in the role, her star persona illuminating every scene, making her fun to watch no matter what outrageous lengths she goes to in her bid to eliminate her husband's mistress. Written by Edna O'Brien (Girl with Green Eyes). Newly remastered.
Product Description:
This intense drama stars Elizabeth Taylor as a woman whose failed marriage causes her to wreak emotional havoc on those around her, especially when her husband takes a beautiful girl for a lover.
