I first learned what true bitchiness was from this movie from Novak and Taylor, and from Ustinov's 'Death On The Nile' and 'Evil Under The Sun' from Maggie Smith, Bette Davis and Diana Rigg. No one else has every been able to match them, no matter how hard they try on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram,
To be a fly on the wall during the filming of this movie! Elizabeth, Kim and Rock!❤️❤️❤️And the “birthday cake” line said out of shot , BRILLIANT and LETHAL!!😂😂😂😂😂
...saw this movie in its initial release back in the 80's and was disappointed it didnt view like a "major release movie" rather, second rate. Today (2023) it has aged enough to become a distant time capsule of valued snippets and nostalgia. The costumes eye catching, and the combination of the 1950's "old school" cast of performers a delight to watch even though the film itself is still a little "bumpy" ride.
Out of all the Agatha Christie stories, this is the one that causes me the most pain. The lady was so naive but ruined another person's life--then Liz killed her in revenge which is of course inexcusable but I still really feel for her. You don't go infecting people just because they're famous, holy crap.
she didnt infect her on purpose because she was famous, she infected her because she was stupid and didnt think that u dont touch people and kiss them when u are ill... the stupidity of one person caused huge misfortune and malice to another person
It's based on an incident in the life of actress Gene Tierney. A fan who was in quarantine for some disease broke out and asked for her autograph. Gene was pregnant at the time, became ill and her daughter was born with severe disabilities.
The movie is of lower caliber than ‘Orient’ or ‘Nile’ but the performance of Liz’ Taylor is spot on and is the only the saving grace of movie, besides The solid performance of Angela Lansbury again portraying a septuagenarian when she’s only in her 50’s.
This movie was such a waste on talent and source material. With the book and this ensemble, they just threw it all away, for cheap comedy, instead of a compelling story and some great suspense :(
Now THIS is the proper way to throw shade and still look glamorous 😂
Elizabeth Taylor always fantastic...looked amazing to the end. They dont make em like that anymore.
Elizabeth could do close ups without the camera doing close ups. The intensity and beauty of her gaze were amazing.
So much shade.... omg, so much shade, effortless, and graceful yet vicious shade.
The Mirror Crack'd! I saw this when it came out (1980). Hilarious to see two Hollywood goddesses 'throwing shade' at each other! Thank you, Lohengrin!
ahahahah love this scene, truly... and they do it with class :D
@@LohengrinVintageMovies Yes, indeed! Your taste is impeccable as always, my friend! ☺
Somebody's been watching too much of PARIS IS BURNING. Lame
Hilarious! In that wig, you can play Lassie! 😂😂😂. They should have had a roll around on the floor catfight like Alexis and Krystle!
Rock Hudson, Liz, and Kim Novak!

Liz wins on points with her final insult.
To be a fly on the wall during the filming of this movie!

...and Angela Lansbury and Geraldine Chaplin..
Kim Novak is GORGEOUS

I love this movie.
The original "You Again" 😆
Chin up dear, both of them!
OMG! This is Agatha Christie: The Mirror Cracked from Side to Side!
Taylor and Novak are having lots of fun... I'm sure they laughed to the point of tears at the campiness of the entire scene.
Elizabeth had the last word 🤣🤣🤣
❤ LOVED THIS SCENE !
Before Alexis and Crystal there was this….
There are quite a few memorable scenes in this largely involving Novak and Taylor taking LUMPS out of each other.

If you read Wikipedia you'll find out that the novel is inspired by a real life tragedy.
It's based on an incident in the life of actress Gene Tierney. A fan who was in quarantine for some disease broke out and asked for her autograph. Gene was pregnant at the time, became ill and her daughter was born with severe disabilities.
The shade the shade
Now that was just heavenly! 😂😂😂
I loved Lola!!
"Too bad every one has had a piece"....so catty!
This is what you call Glamour Shade 🤣🤣🤣
Like if Rupaul brought you here
This is one of my favorite scenes ever in bitchiness
When ET says wrinkle wrinkle go away go on Doris Day. The camera cuts to Rock. Because it was improvised 😂
In the second half of the 80s, she looked like she could have been the daughter of her younger self, here.
Kim Novak - Legend! 🔝
Gorgeous at 48 :) Wow!!!
Vicious
It was a TIE😂😂😂😂😂
Had to come here after seeing the Drag Race All Stars challenge lol
Me too😂😂
What was the name of this movie?
"The Mirror Crack'd From Side To Side", based on the novel of the same name by Agatha Christie.
@@stevielagan1948 It's a a great movie, in my opinion. One of my favorite AC adaptations.
As awful as this movie is, Taylor gets the stricken look perfectly right.
compared to the shit Hollywood offers today, this is a masterpiece
It's great camp!

Fabulous
Kim Novak looks like Elizabeth Taylor's daughter. In 1980 Taylor was 48 and she looked like 70
😂😂😂😂

Fake AF
Yeeessss, but in an unforgetable way😅
