Hot off the heels of their bloated and lavish CinemaScope monument to each other, 1963's Cleopatra, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton found time to play a rich couple on the fritz in this hilariously ridiculous, soap-ish prelude to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). George and Martha these well-dressed cheaters are not, but still, we are stuck in an airport lounge with Taylor's Frances Andros and a cast of other souls in turmoil waiting for the (metaphorical) fog to lift from their lives. Despite stellar supporting turns by Orson Welles and Maggie Smith, this so-bad-it's-good bit of pastel cheesecake serves as a reminder to all Hollywood "It" couples that anyone (yes, even Brad and Angie) can lay a stinker.
