5/5 One amazing star: Elizabeth Taylor
  by Earl Micknass (Detroit MI USA)
Gotta say, I've always been saddened to know that Elizabeth hated this movie and referred to it as "smut". Her performance is so much fun to watch: this woman could ACT. Look at her face when she writes "NO SALE" on wealthy Weston's bathroom mirror. Wow! Another fav moment is in the bar when she digs her stiletto heel into the top of his shoe to get him to let go of her arm. That is one amazing scene.
As a total guilty pleasure, I enjoy watching "BUtterfield 8" and "Suddenly Last Summer" one after another, a movie none of the other reviewers mentioned. Sometimes I'll follow that up with a viewing of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" for a total immersion into the wit, passion, talent and amazing beauty that Elizabeth Taylor brought to the big screen. I'm too young to have seen them as theatrical releases, so hooray for DVDs!

3/5 Liz hated this film.

Butterfield 8 is pure camp, plain and simple! Elizabeth Taylor is the best thing in this uneven film, she won her first Oscar. Her character is anything but an angel, she drinks, swears, sleeps around with every man in town. I heard that Taylor tried to get out of making this film but she is a great actress so she knew she could pull this off. The ending is tragic and who said Eddie Fisher could act?! Definitely a movie to watch on a rainy afternoon.

5/5 Favorite

Lola Ray

Although I've always loved Elizabeth Taylor in all her movies, I believe Butterfield 8 is my very favorite. Here, she was at the zenith of her beauty - My opinion - I never thought her more beautiful and talented. And her acting, of course, was nothing less the superb. She is and always has been one of my favorite actors. Definitely five stars. I'd give it ten if I could.

Sandra E. Waldron is the author of "Lola Ray" and "The Demise of Sarah Mae: Murder in the Swamp" among other novels, and has shorts in the Amazon Shorts section.

5/5 Romantic Drama
  by ' Groovin' guy
The girl , Elizabeth Taylor has dated gentlemen from nearly every ivy league university.

Her life is complex. She has problems.

She leaves her mother. Mother's instincts say "I have the feeling I'll never see you again".

I saw SOME of this movie as a child and was told to leave the room because it was for "grown ups"..Well I knew I had to have it and
I am glad that I got it..This movie is filled w/allll of the good stuff..
extra martial affairs, alcohol abuse, love, hate, greed and class.

Ms. Taylor is at her best, this movie is fabulous!! I have given it to friends to watch and EVERYONE raves about how they cannot believe this movie was made in 1960...gritty and charming!!
