I wandered across what might possibly be the best of the worst of the Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton films on cable the other day, Boom!. It features Taylor as Flora “Sissy” Goforth, who has survived six tycoon husbands and now lives like a dictator (complete with machine guns and attack dogs) on an island in the Mediterranean. Noel Coward lingers about as The Witch of Capri, and Burton muddles through the movie as a katana wearing, gold digging poet/bohemian. But the best thing about the whole film is Taylor’s awesomely explosive headgear, seen above, which she wears to dinner and then does a dance routine in, and which you can, or can not, enjoy the fuzzy “screenshot” of, above. Just had to share.
