A fine little film. I enjoyed both Taylor and Beatty int his incarnation. It was as though we were leaving the 60s and entering a new and less beautiful world.

The Only Game in Town might be better

The Only Game in Town might be better classified as a talkie rather than a motion picture as there isn't a lot of motion going on considering 90% of the film is just Elizabeth Taylor and Warren Beatty talking. But it is the dialogue and fashion in which these two icons interact that makes this romantic drama so convincing. Unlike many films, and possibly because it is the main purpose of the film, the relationship and developement of said relationship seem truly genuine. It isn't until the later half of the film that things begin to feel forced in order to achieve the "romantic ending". Unfortunately, many might feel this film goes nowhere fast, comes across a little boring and extremely melodramatic. While I can't argue with the later, if you concentrate on the characters and their maneurisms, dialogue and interactions I find that the film takes on a very interesting character study aspect and can get you involved. Of course, this is easier said than done and modern audiences (and likely audiences at the time) would want something more from the film. The Only Game in Town isn't so much entertaining as it is somewhat interesting and humanistic. Worth taking a look at even if only one time, if you enjoy your romance films to be character driven and relationship centric.
