On YouTube!

Someone was kind enough to upload AW on YouTube. I was grateful to get to see this movie after reading about it in bios of Liz and knowing of Dominick Dunne's involvement with it. I hate to even say this, but I can't help myself: as much as I love Henry Fonda, he was ridiculously too old for his role in AW. I'm sure they wanted a name and he was happy with a supporting role, but I had a hard time wrapping my mind around Liz having all this work done to make HIM see HER in a younger light. But at least it wasn't another Burton-Taylor cookie cutter soap opera. With all this said, I did enjoy the movie; the costumes and cinematography were first-class, and it was a candid look inside a desperate, rich housewife's life in the 70s.

all I see is a person created clips with a link to watch it on another site. I think I may pass.

Funny, you should mention that as I remember watching this film with a few friends who were too young to be very familiar with Henry Fonda and when he finally appeared on screen they laughed and said, " She went through all of that surgery for him?"
