Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were a Sixties supercharged couple in an era of supercharged couples. As a pairing they were fantasy figures impossibly desirable. Liz supple and soft in perfumes and furs - yet with something demonic and lethal about her. Dick in turn with his ravaged handsome face looked as though lit by silver moonlight - poised to turn into a wolf. Roger Lewis uses this glamorous and damaged pair as the starting point to tell the story of an age of excess: the freaks and groupies the private jets and jewels and the yachts sailing in an azure sea the magnificent bad taste and greed. It is about the clash of worlds: the filth and decay of South Wales and the grandeur and elegance of Old Hollywood the fantasies we have about film stars and the fantasies the Burtons had about each other.
