Daniel Mann directs this eye opener of its day. The beautiful Elizabeth Taylor plays Gloria, a high-dollar prostitute that comes to grips with the possibility of finding 'Mr. Right'...a wealthy married man(Laurence Harvey). Gloria has a very troubled past...being forced to the ways of the flesh at the age of 13. She picks the men she wants in and out of her life; but has a problem breaking off with the compulsive and enamored Harvey. Taylor's sultry role is near perfection and earned her the Academy Award. The subject matter by today's standards is far from taboo as it was; but is still very interesting. Supporting cast includes:Dina Merrill, Susan Oliver, Kay Medford and Eddie Fisher. It is hard to not watch the screen when Liz makes the scene.
