Butterfield 8 is on TCM right now!

So the Elizabeth Taylor character is a call girl, right?

This movie still confuses me.

That exchange between Gloria and Mrs. Thurber was so classic!

I can't imagine that people could be so cunty back then.

Whoever wrote those lines must have been a bitchy queen.

I can never get to the end of it, personally.

It is such a chic and stylish movie, and the characters are very smart and sexy.

They don't make movies like this anymore.

Laurence Harvey (Liggett) was a very handsome man.

"Mama, I was the slut of all time! All soaked through with gin...."

That has got to be the best line ever!

This is the one where Taylor got an Oscar because she needed a tracheotomy right?

I wonder if that would work this year?

Mamie, bring me a large sharp knife and the melon baller and have 911 standing by.

Ever more dramatic than anything in the movie.....

I thought that the ending really sucked.

It's like Liggett didn't even give two shits about Gloria, after the accident.

Then he tries to go back to his old life.

What a crock of shit.

Love la Liz but Laurence Harvey makes my skin crawl throughout. I can’t understand her attraction to him; I can, however, understand why she’d floor it and try to get the hell away from him.

Elizabeth Taylor is the greatest movie star of all time.

No, Rose. She's a mariachi band player.

At the height of her beauty. I think that she should have renewed her contract with and stayed at MGM.
