In the luxurious confines of a bedroom not her own, the captivating Gloria Wandrous, played by Dame Elizabeth Taylor, awakens to the dawn of a new day and the beginning of our tale. With a gulp of liquid courage, she dismisses the $250 left by an infatuated admirer and, with a sharp lipstick message etched on the mirror, she boldly steps into the day draped in a borrowed mink coat. This is the roaring start of Butterfield 8, a film that holds its audience in rapt attention and earned Elizabeth Taylor her first Best Actress Academy Award. Gloria, a stunning New York City fashion model with an undeniable allure, finds herself entwined in a forbidden affair with a married socialite, Weston Liggett, played by Laurence Harvey.

As Gloria grapples with her lifestyle, the movie unfolds, revealing layers of her character, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Indeed, for a glamorous, riveting experience, don't just read about Butterfield 8. Immerse yourself in the film that Hollywood and its audiences celebrated with a resounding "Hurrah!", and watch as Gloria's story unravels in a whirl of glitz, emotion, and drama.
