No Caminho dos Elefantes

Elizabeth Taylor's role in Elephant Walk reminds me of her role in Giant. She's married to a very powerful man, but she can't seem to quell her rambunctious nature, often starting fights and dishing out what she takes. So, if you liked Giant, try this one, and vice versa.

In Elephant Walk, Liz is wooed and wed by the wealthy Peter Finch, but when he takes her into his world (much like in Giant), she doesn't quite fit in. She moves to the tropical tea plantation in Ceylon, but the cultural and lifestyle changes are difficult. And when hunky Dana Andrews enters the picture, she just might find a distraction from her new surroundings. . .

With Liz and Dana, there's lots of eye candy in this movie. A few strong-willed speeches and some romantic scenes don't make it the most memorable film to come out of the 50s, but it's worth it if you like good-looking people up on the screen.
