"home" movies on the making of the comedians

[8/10 · 15 September 2021]

Spoilers this is a short film describing the filming and working conditions on the film The Comedians. Husband and wife team richard burton and liz taylor are part of the rich, elite, jet set crowd in Haiti. Actually filmed in dahomey, africa, we see the citizens running, playing, working with liz taylor and the other stars of The Comedians. We see the voodoo dances, trances, and rituals done by an actual voodoo priest. Co-stars alec guinness, james earl jones, peter ustinov appear, as the various scenes are filmed. The Comedians film itself was written by Graham Green and directed by Peter Glenville. Interesting bit!
