Mia Farrow and Elizabeth Taylor are both dead, or are supposed to be, but are alive and well, or at least play-acting, in a large English mansion. Mia was 25 playing essentially a 9-year-old, with girlish dresses and a bob, reliving her tortured childhood at the hands of Liz. Dad shows up and turns out to be Robert Mitchum with a scraggly beard, who spouts off about incest and other improprieties, in one of his worst performances. Still, there is a certain appeal in all of this nonsense, some nice sets and camerawork by Gerald Fisher, that prevents it from becoming a complete disaster.
