A brilliantly eccentric adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore, Losey's cult classic is considered one of the great examples of high camp cinema. Eager to continue her association with Williams after the screen versions of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Suddenly Last Summer, Elizabeth Taylor agreed to star as a fabulously wealthy writer sequestered in her villa on Capri and visited by a mysterious man, played by her then husband Richard Burton, who may just be an angel of death. Noël Coward co-stars as a gossipy neighbor known as "the Witch of Capri," a role originally played onstage by a woman.
