The V.I.P.s,

What a brilliant movie! The interpersonal relationships have a mesmerising depth. I'm pleased with the investment and certainly one to enjoy more than once.

Great DVD at a great price. This 'English' version is difficult to get and I've been looking for it for some while.

If you love Richard Burton Liz Taylor this film is a must have. I love watching it

Loved never tiried to watch again and again

Great film with some of the best performances you will ever see

Excellent DVD - arrived in good time.

The V.I.P.s is directed by Anthony Asquith and written by Terence Rattigan. It stars Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Louis Jordan, Rod Taylor, Maggie Smith, Orson Welles, Elsda Martinelli and Margaret Rutherford. Filmed in Panavision and Metrocolor, music is by Miklos Rozsa and cinematography by Jack Hildyard.Terminal 2, London Heathrow Airport, and fog has grounded the flights of some very important people. Time, then, for truths to out and futures resolved...Cheque book generosity.Disliked by critics upon release but a hit at the box office, The V.I.P.s is a throwback to the days when ensemble star power could carry a melodrama through to its conclusion. The performances of the actors, playing well to do characters facing up to some tribulations in life, are most enjoyable (nice to see Rod Taylor actually being Australian, Smith owning the film and Rutherford being Rutherford) and even though there's some silly moments within Rattigan's screenplay, there's enough quality drama and warmth to make the near two hour running time bearable. Besisdes, I never thought the sight of Richard Burton signing a cheque could make me feel so happy! 7/10
