I dont think so. She was much better in black white films such as, Father of the Bride or A Place in the Sun. For color films, she was also better in Elephant Walk or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I don't know why, but I hate the color of this film.
shareI think Liz Taylor's unwordly beauty left her little choice. She could not play the "girl next door" because no girl next door ever looked liked that. My favorite scene in this movie is when her character is accused of being a witch. Fast forward this scene 8 to 10 years and people were saying the same things about Taylor in the real world.

Jew, Christian, Muslim or from the planet beyond beyond... she was incredibly beautiful during those early years. Those eyes...

Step on it! And don't spare the atoms!
The way Elizabeth Taylor looked back then made Joan Fontaine, herself no slouch in the looks department, look almost plain.
Still, it's a great movie.

I was thinking the same exact thing. Joan was very, very, very pretty in this movie, but Elizabeth's beauty was almost supernatural in its intensity. It doesn't help that Joan had 15-something years on Elizabeth, too (BTW, in the book, Wilfred and Rowena were supposed to be only in their twenties).
No blah, blah, blah!

She was so particular about her eyes that at some point in her career she made it a part of her contract that the eye pencils used to make her up had to be kept in a refrigerator to keep them perfectly sharp.
