🎶 The shadow of your smile ….🎵 I was in elementary school band in the early to mid 70s, and I played soooo many of these movie themes. #TheSandpiper The good one was watching Umbrellas of Cherbourg and remembering how I burbled all those tunes out on the flute in 4th grade. #TCMParty
Slay Girl!
Why Yes, Elizabeth Taylor wears her own enormous diamond ring in the 1965 film The Sandpiper.
The Ring is the 33.19-carat Krupp Diamond (later renamed The Elizabeth Taylor Diamond), an Asscher-cut stone that she famously wore in several films and daily life.

Oscars 1978.
When Sylvester Stallone announced the Best Actor award Burton heard “Richard” and thought he had won, when he realized that it was Dreyfus, not him, he stood up, turned around and left. Burton Literally and physically turned his back on Hollywood and left.

Burton not winning the Oscar for Becket (1964), The Spy Who Came in from there Cold (1965), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) Anne of the Thousand Days (1969) or Equus (1977)
Seems like a pattern.

#QuickSidenote Here’s the kicker about “Far from Over”: it was produced by Johnny Mandel… the legendary composer/arranger who graced the silver screen & TV with dozens of scores. He won a Grammy & an Oscar for the song “The Shadow of Your Smile.” #JohnnyMandel #TheSandpiper #OneHitWondered

Liz proclaiming to everyone that she can do anything and get away with it.

For the men certainly, they can just stare at Liz for the entire running time.

If a team of international terrorists just happen to show up, Charles Bronson will be able to take them all out in one shot.

I will never get over Elizabeth Taylor having a fucking bird on her head for most of this scene. It'll never be right. #TheSandpiper #TCMParty
Too lazy to look it up. Were they married during the filming of this?

The setting and the title song make up for a lot of nonsense. #TheSandpiper #TCMParty
“Like” she’s a hottie? Is there a question? #TCMParty #TheSandpiper ☺️😉
You should listen to the If You Remember This Podcast. This season is called The Old Man Is Still Alive. @karinalongworth.bsky.social is reviewing the careers of Golden Age directors whose careers "got weird" when they turned 60. Minnelli is one of the subjects. #TheSandpiper #TCMParty
I'm head over heels to see the Morgan Mason, son of James & Pamela and long time husband of Belinda Carlisle. #TheSandpiper #TCMParty
For the record, “The Shadow of Your Smile” won an Oscar for best original song in '65, a Grammy the next yr (Tony Bennett) and versions of it became a staple of AM radio. Other than the song, I recall liking Milton Krasner’s cinematography and the film’s the color pallet.

It’s probably true that Burton could read the phone book and make it compelling. #TheSandpiper #TCMParty
LOL, all the boys looking at Liz like she a hottie.

It’s fun to imagine Dalton Trumbo typing out some of this crappy dialog. #TheSandpiper #TCMParty
Richard Burton died tragically young at 57 😥but we still have Eva Marie Saint at 100! 😍 #TheSandpiper #TCMParty
#TheSandpiper is an... interesting movie. I really just watch it for the Big Sur scenery - my favorite place in the world. I got married at Nepenthe actually. If you also love the scenery, you should plan a trip there. The town has been hit hard by the PCH closures and needs the business! #TCMParty
A Richard Burton-Charles Bronson fistfight? This movie has everything! #TheSandpiper #TCMParty
