The Elizabeth Taylor Signature Collection (National Velvet / Father of the Bride / Cat on a Hot Tin Roof / Butterfield 8)

This is a bargain buy; 4 Taylor films, two young early Taylor (very G), and two at her prime (PG - adult themes - you know your kids). Good transfers, an excellent addition to your home library.

Four excellent DVDs are contained in this box, This is Elizabeth Taylor's box, and although our fascination goes more to the boxed set of the Legendary Duo: Taylor/Burton, this nevertheless is a must buy too.It covers almost thirty years of Liz Taylor's career, starting with "National Velvet" in 1944, followed by "Father of the Bride", the original version of 1950 which actually has Spencer Tracy starring in it, Elizabeth just having a secondary role there, cued by the mythical "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958) and ending with the melodrama "Butterfield 8", the only one in which Liz played opposite her own then husband: Eddie Fisher and co-starring Laurence Harvey in 1960.The first two come in a full screen presentation (Cinemascope and Panavision widescreen presentations were only introduced in 1953). The other two come in their correct theatrical ratio.There are no frills here, like specials, interviews or some other fluff, but the movies were decently transferred and the sound, although mono on all four, is fairly crisp and well polished.Well worth its price if you asked me, and you did not...

I have always loved Elizabeth Taylor and the day I turned on my computer and seen movie collections going for sale, i grabbed some of my favorites. My formost favorite has to be Butterfield 8. Her acting in that movie was something I dont think a lot of people expected from her. If I could afford every one, I would have bought them that day! Of course there is still time. Not to mention the fact I must have received them in record time. Nicely wrapped, etc., in a matter of days. I sat down and had an Elizabeth Taylor day in fondness of her memory of one of the great actresses of all time!

Just ask my wife...she'll tell you: "It's Liz...What else is there to say?" It has her debut starring role: "National Velvet", the sweet, poignant (to any father of a daughter getting, or gotten, married)and still funny, classic: "Father of the Bride", and two great dramas. First, there's Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Paul Newman and Burl Ives; and lastly, but most especially, you get her Academy Award winning turn in "Butterfield 8". It's all good stuff for any classic films and/or Elizabeth Taylor fan.

It doesn't matter what the movie is all about. The inplortant thing is that the movie has Elizabeth Taylor as the main feature. And here, in this collection we have a number of wonderful examples of that memorable and great talent.

Great movies - on a rainy cold day, watched two of them and brought back great memories of other ET movies I have enjoyed. By the way, service from Amazon is incredible. I continue to be impressed with the service and products I order from Amazon.

What can I say, I enjoyed the whole set. Elizebath Taylor has always been one of my favorited movie stars, so it goes to say, i enjoy all the movies she made.

This was a Christmas present and Amazon failed to deliver on-time, making it a late Christmas present. Guess the movies are okay - they are classics so I am not reviewing the movies - only Amazon's (lack of) service on this one.

After watching 'Cleopatra', also bought from Amazon, I wanted to see 'Butterfield 8', which I had only seen once, many years ago. This collection allowed me to also see the other three ET movies, all of which I had never seen before. Delivery was very expedient and the product new, as specified.

there arent many extras but the movies themself are great to have in one collection. i bought it as a gift for someone and I'm now a hero lol
