Boom! HD Remastered Edition

[Machine Translation] On the island of Capri, where the waves lap, love burns fiercely at the sound of the sea, and at sunset love softly bids farewell... Joseph Losey's ambitious allegorical adaptation of the play by Tennessee Williams. Elizabeth Taylor, then 36 years old, plays the heroine, who is still living a glamorous life of pretense in the face of inevitable death. The absurd story of her gradual attraction to a visiting angel of death is coolly depicted in the setting of a white mansion overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The music is by John Barry of the 007 series, the camera is by Douglas Slocum of the Indiana Jones series, and the jewelry is by Bulgari. It is a luxurious and gorgeous problem film. --Flora Goforth, the widow of a wealthy man, lives with her servant in a white mansion overlooking the azure Mediterranean Sea. She is incurably ill and has her secretary, Miss Black, dictate her life story. Then Chris Flanders, a self-proclaimed "poet" and angel of death, appears before her. Although she is fascinated by the Grim Reaper, the light of her life is now fleetingly extinguished...
