New on Blu-ray: BOOM! (1968) Starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

boom-1968-new-on-blu-ray

Product Description: Cinema icons (and twice-married couple) Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton light up the screen in what acclaimed playwright Tennessee Williams (A Streetcar Named Desire) described as the best film adaptation of his work he’d ever seen. Sissy Goforth (Taylor), the world’s richest woman, has retired to her lavish island estate to dictate her memoirs. Her reclusive lifestyle is thrown into upheaval when roguish poet Chris Flanders (Burton) washes up on her beach. With the mysterious habit of calling upon a lady one step before the undertaker, Flanders has become known as "The Angel Of Death", but an undaunted Goforth opts to tempt fate when she chooses to take Flanders as her next and last lover.

A notorious bomb on its initial release, Boom! has since built up a cult following for its one-of-a-kind mixture of camp, lyricism, and the highly combustible chemistry of its two leads. More than fifty years after Boom!’s debut, Shout! Factory invites you to light the fuse on a re-examination of this highly unusual drama.
