*** Résumé en anglais seulement *** The Last Time I Saw Paris: A reporter covering the VE day celebration in Paris meets and falls in love with a beautiful girl. Married shortly after the war, the couple lives on his meager wage he earns as a news-wire reporter while he works on his novel. After giving up on his job and living for a while on his oil well earnings, the couple grow apart until a tragic event brings the man out of his self-destructive behavior. Driver's Seat: The incomparable Elizabeth Taylor portrayed one of the most bizarre characters of her career when she took on the role of Lise, a psychotic woman obsessed with finding the man of her dreams, in order for him to kill her. This schizophrenic lady travels from London to Rome in the hopes of discovering the perfect mate and her executioner, all in one. As you progress along with Lise on her search about the Eternal City, you find that she is not the only person with emotional and psychological problems. Doctor Faustus: First dramatized in the 16th century, the legend of Doctor Faustus is the immortal tale of a German conjurer who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for a life of adventure and excitement. In this classic version, Burton stars as the aging scholar who makes a deal with the devil for youth, knowledge and a dazzling mistress. But when Faustus begins to regret his decision, the devil's assistant, Mephistopheles, sends Taylor as the spellbinding seductress who seals Faustus' fate. This lasting achievement is distinguished by its visual beauty and the great performances of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. X Y & Zee: Elizabeth Taylor is Zee Blakeley, the wife of eternally philandering Robert (Michael Caine), in this story of swinging Londoners directed by Brian G. Hutton (Where Eagles Dare). When Robert's fancy for the beautiful young widow Stella (Susannah York, Tom Jones) threatens to break up her marriage, Zee takes matters into her own hands to try to gain the advantage in their tumultuous relationship. Taylor plays the vulgar, loud and shrewish wife with great relish in the role, her star persona illuminating every scene, making her fun to watch no matter what outrageous lengths she goes to in her bid to eliminate her husband's mistress.
