      Storyline

      Did you know

      • Trivia
        Marlon Brando became the first actor to be paid more than $1 million for a single film, when he signed to appear in this screen-adaptation of Tennessee Williams' "Orpheus Descending". Nearing the end of her contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Elizabeth Taylor had earlier signed a $1-million contract with 20th Century Fox to appear in Cleopatra (1963), breaking that salary threshold in Hollywood.
      • Goofs
        At the cemetery, Xavier returns to the car and turns on its headlights. A much brighter studio light comes on a beat too late to further illuminate the right side of the frame.
      • Quotes
        • Lady Torrance: Tell me some more about your self-control.
        • Valentine Xavier: Well, they say that a woman can burn a man down, you know? But I can burn a woman down. I'm saying that I could. I'm not saying I would.
        • Lady Torrance: What's the matter? Have they tired you out?
        • Valentine Xavier: No, I'm not tired.
