THE GREATS

Back to collection thumbnails
The late 1950s was an exciting & inventive time in UK cinema, often referred to as the "British New Wave", and Burton was right in the thick of things, and showcased a sensational performance in Look Back In Anger (1959). He also appeared with a cavalcade of international stars in the WW2 magnum opus The Longest Day (1962), and then onto arguably his most "notorious" role as that of "Marc Anthony" opposite Elizabeth Taylor in the hugely expensive Cleopatra (1963). This was, of course, the film that kick started their fiery and passionate romance, and the two of them appeared in several productions over the next few years including the dynamic Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966) and The Taming of the Shrew (1967). However, Burton was often better when he was off on his own giving higher caliber performances, such as those in Becket (1964) and the brilliant thriller The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1965). His two last great performances were as the sinister "O'Brien" (1984), and in the TV mini series "Ellis Island" (1984).
