Burton and Elizabeth:Lives in Desperation

Captivating Performance

I have just watched the BBC production of Burton and Elizabeth, a docudrama of the turbulent lives of both these protagonists.

Dominic west played Burton while the talented Helena Bonham Carter played the manic-depressive Elizabeth, hard on booze during almost the entire staging of Noel Coward;s play, Private Lives.

Tumultuous Off-On Romance 

For the duration of 80 odd minutes, cascade along with the ups and downs of these ex-spouses who are, as it seems, good at throwing barbs at each other.

In reality, both of them led miserable lives.

Good to watch just to have a peep into the private lives of two of Hollywood's greatest lovers!
