About

The wealthy, self-absorbed eccentric Sissy Goforth (Elizabeth Taylor) has taken up residence on a secluded Mediterranean island where she dictates her memoirs, flies into rages and screams insults at her servants. With her health now failing, she drinks, takes pills and has a doctor give her injections to ease the pain. Into her reclusive life comes a stranger (Richard Burton) introducing himself as a poet. Though attracted by the visitor she soon discovers he has a reputation for appearing when wealthy women are about to meet their demise and is known locally as the "Angel of Death".
