The Great Stars: The Sandpiper

BBC One
on BBC One London

[Starring] Richard Burton
the second of three films featuring one of today's greatest stars with Elizabeth Taylor Eva Marie Saint

Dr Edward Hewitt is the respected principal of a small private school. But his passionate affair with the beautiful and unconventional Laura Reynolds threatens to destroy his career - and his marriage.
The wild and colourful beauty of the Big Sur region of California forms a dramatic background to this unashamedly romantic drama - one of several films the Burtons made together during the 60s, which features one of the movies' most haunting theme songs.
