Elizabeth Taylor's Strangest Film Role

As you know, the last great movie star Elizabeth Taylor died in March of 2011.  At the beginning of this new year, let's recall one of her most bizarre performances.  "Hammersmith Is Out" was eviscerated by film critics, but hey, I still loved it.  In the movie, Beau Bridges plays an uncouth psychiatric technician named Billy Breedlove who helps an Evil Genius (Richard Burton) escape from an insane asylum.  In return, Burton shows Billy and his wonderfully tacky girlfriend (Taylor, under a mound of tortured blond curls) how to achieve incredible wealth.  It's a campy spin-off of the Faust legend.
