Michael Caine got his revenge on Rex Reed...


From Rex Reed's review of the film (c&p from a user comment):

"Well, sex is back in "X Y & Zee," as wretched and slimy a pail of slop as I've ever seen dumped on a movie screen, with the misguided Elizabeth Taylor playing chief pig in the pig sty..."X Y & Zee" is a depraved lesbian horror film with flabby, oatmeal-colored Michael Caine trying vainly to out-weight and out-scream the bloated Miss Taylor before they both get thrown out of the Screen Actors Guild."


Caine read the review on the Johnny Carson Show and said "If I'm oatmeal then Rex Reed is a sugar frosted flake." The Audience roared.

I personally think Liz looks great!

Yes, I was shocked by Rex Reed's review of "X Y and Zee." But he just couldn't accept an older, bawdy Liz. He wanted her to stay forever the sylph of "A Place in the Sun."

Taylor looks great in this.

Ha! Priceless!
