Collection of four classic film dramas starring Elizabeth Taylor.
In 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' (1966), adapted from Edward
Albee's controversial stage play, George (Richard Burton) is a
foul-mouthed, drunken university professor married for two decades
to the equally foul-mouthed, drunken Martha (Taylor), whose father
is the president of George's college. When younger married couple
Nick (George Segal) and Honey (Sandy Dennis) are invited round for
a nightcap, they witness a marathon of bickering and verbal abuse.
The film won five Oscars, including Best Actress for Elizabeth
Taylor and Best Supporting Actress for Sandy Dennis. 'Cat On a Hot
Tin Roof' (1958), based on the Tennesse Williams play, follows the
events which transpire one long, hot Southern evening when the
family of plantation patriarch Big Daddy (Burl Ives) gathers to
celebrate his birthday. Both of the big man's sons are there for
the party, but only one of them - Gooper (Jack Carson) - is keen to
inherit the family fortune; the other, Brick (Paul Newman), a
former high school athlete who now drinks constantly and refuses to
sleep with his wife, Maggie (Taylor), couldn't care less.
Nevertheless, Maggie would like to see some of the money, believing
that it might offer some recompense for the coldness of her
marriage, and Big Mama (Judith Anderson), the boys' mother, has
always favoured Brick out of the two. As the night wears on, the
temperature rises, skeletons emerge from closets, and the family
tensions get closer and closer to breaking point. 'Giant' (1956)
follows Bick Benedict (Rock Hudson), a Texas cattle baron who takes
a non-Texan wife, Leslie (Taylor). The story traces two generations
of his family, alongside the life of disreputable ranch-hand Jett
Rink (James Dean), who strikes it rich on an oil well and falls in
love with Leslie. Director George Stevens won an Oscar for his
work, and the film garnered nine more nominations, including one
for James Dean, who was killed in a car crash soon after filming.
In 'Lassie Come Home' (1943) the Carraclough family are struggling
financially and have no choice but to sell their pet collie,
Lassie. Her new owner's granddaughter, Priscilla (Taylor), realises
how unhappy Lassie is away from her family and helps her to escape
so she can begin her long journey home.

Burl Ives, born and bred in America, tramped the country from one
end to the other. By nature a collector of all kinds of things --
songs, stories and tidbits of information -- he stored up a
treasure of stories of the humorous and the adventurous people and
the fabulous happenings that went into the making of America. The
result is this book -- warm, colorful, human -- filled with his
favorite tales, legends, and true narratives about America's past
and America's people.
You will find stories about such men and women as George
Washington (a romantic in his youth), Pocahontas (more real than
the history books let on), Bigfoot Wallace (maybe Texans are right
about Texas after all), Mike Fink, Paul Bunyan, Daniel Boone,
including prospectors, whalers, ghosts, and pirates. These tales,
told by America's best-loved folk singer, will be read and loved --
and read again -- by people of all ages.
