Where did my Antony go? Remember? The man who would've risked everything for me - who did! He tossed it all against the rocks so he could be with me. Where did he go, Richard? Tell me where my FUCKING Antony went!

Not the golden couple

Burton and Taylor will forever be Hollywood&apos;s golden couple whose turbulent life made headline news but also inspired some dramatic films, none more so than &apos;Who&apos;s afraid of Virgina Woolf.&apos;

The setting for this one off film is 1983, a year before Burton&apos;s untimely death.

Richard Burton (Dominic West) and Elizabeth Taylor (Helena Bonham Carter) after their second divorce are reuniting in London for a theatrical play of Noel Coward&apos;s Private Lives and enter another spiral of turbulence, bickering, despair and affection.

The press announcement creates a storm of interest and speculation in the media as to if they will get back together for a third time.

Taylor still carries a torch for Burton while Burton, a man with a reputation as a great stage actor is frustrated by Taylor&apos;s histrionics and her unwillingness to rehearse the play properly.

Bonham Carter captures the essence and cattiness of Taylor remarkably well although West seems to struggle with his Burton. Maybe it was a misstep by concentrating in this period of their relationship when there is a more interesting story to be told about this pair as to how they fell in love in the early 1960s. Together with their roller coaster relationship over the next 20 years.
