Boom!
The Cinematheque pays tribute to Elizabeth Taylor with one of the campiest movies she ever made, a 1968 bomb based on Tennessee Williams' The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore (he also wrote the screenplay). Richard Burton and Noel Coward co-star in this tale of a poor poet and a super-rich lady, who lives on her own island. RIP, Liz. Cinematheque. At 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 13. — Michael Gallucci
