    Lots of amazing scenery (Liz Taylor included.) The Sandpiper is also a precursor to the beginning of the ratings system as its a bit racy and liberal-minded for the mid-60s. Burton and Taylor are as always great together, Eva Marie Saint plays a WASP doormat and Charles Bronson p...( read more)lays a hipster beatnik. By no means essential and even though its a little drawn out, its not a bad watch.

    Burton & Taylor act like they're married--and unhappy. "Adult" melodrama.
