      The birth of a "new box office gentleman"

      Although Richard Burton said that he likes to play the role of a king or a prince, in the movies he likes to play priests and officers the most. There are only five priests I have seen. Of course, the most handsome is the manic priest he played in "Wind and Rain in Wushan" when he was 39 years old.

      I just want to say, such a handsome priest when he is quiet, how can a good person suddenly become sharp.

      Before he went crazy, the camera was at an elevated angle. Looking at him...

      Burton's dream of seclusion

      How many really happy days are there in Burton and Taylor's ten-year marriage? Countless. The best period of their relationship was before the marriage, that is, during the filming of "Wushan Wind and Rain Night" in Mexico at the end of 1963.

      For those three or four months, Taylor shed her prettiness, donned her swimsuit and her tropical linen clothes, and came to the set with him every day. She fascinated almost everyone, but she had no air, and she stayed by his side like a person,...

      weird

      I think I'm watching an Italian movie, I think I'm watching Adventures, but I'm watching John Houston, Deborah Coe and Ava Gardner, not Monica Vidi.

      The starting point of this film is not the same as the adventure. The adventure starts from the skyscraper and the bedroom, and this film starts from the church. Adventure is a boatload of middle class, and this film is a boatload of Christians. Adventure is obscure, this film is twisted.

      I can't help but be suspicious of old...

      A charming alcoholic + lunatic

      1963 "Wind and Rainy Night in Wushan", 38-year-old Burton. Despite his dark skin and rough face, he has a unique languid sexiness against his chicken coop head. An alcoholic who doesn't want to tempt others, but is alive and well, exudes strong hormones from head to toe.

      Deborah Kerr, who played opposite him, wrote in her Nov. 7 diary: "I really enjoyed working with Richard. Easy, sensitive, funny. He had an extraordinary memory - he could talk Poems and...

      The beautiful and dangerous Puerto Vallarta

      In September 1963, the filming of "Wind and Rainy Night in Wushan" started in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Some locals in Mexico had heard that the notorious couple would be here, and they threatened to kill them by bringing the decadent Hollywood way of life to Mexico, polluting the land. When Burton and Taylor's plane landed at the airport, they were surrounded by a large group of locals, who dared not get off the plane easily.

      At this time, the assistant director of the crew, a Mexican...

    • Maxine Faulk: What... uh... subject do you teach back in that college of yours, honey?

      Judith Fellowes: Voice... if that's got anything to do with it.

      Maxine Faulk: Well geography is my speciality. Did you know that if it wasn't for the *dikes*, the plains of Texas would be engulfed by the gulf?

      T. Lawrence Shannon: Maxine!

      Judith Fellowes: Let's level for awhile, butch, old gal, you know what you're sore about? What you're really sore about? That little quail of your's has a natural preference for *men*! Instead of...

      T. Lawrence Shannon: Maxine!

      Judith Fellowes: What is she talking about?

      T. Lawrence Shannon: You better go now, Miss Fellowes, the party's over. Right now I'm no longer in a position to discharge my responsibility of protecting you. A responsibility from which you discharged me. Just go, Miss Fellowes. Just go.

    • Maxine Faulk: What the hell are you doing, Shannon?

      T. Lawrence Shannon: I just cut loose one of God's creatures at the end of his rope.

      Maxine Faulk: What for?

      T. Lawrence Shannon: So that one of God's creatures could be free from panic, and scamper home safe and free. A little act of grace, Maxine.
