Secret Ceremony / Boom!

SECRET CEREMONY, 1968, Universal, 109 min. Director Joseph Losey’s bizarre psychological suspenser features Mia Farrow as an orphaned young woman and Elizabeth Taylor as the prostitute who pretends to be her mother. When Robert Mitchum as Farrow’s stepfather is stirred into the brew, things get considerably stranger.

BOOM!, 1968, Universal, 110 min. Director Joseph Losey's phantasmagorical adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore." Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton star as rich recluse Sissy Goforth and wandering harbinger of death, Chris Flanders, sequestered in Goforth's exotic, Mediterranean home. Mindblowing monologues on life, love and death, punctuated by eloquent purple prose, adorn this campy legend. Reportedly one of John Waters' favorite films.
