The V.I.P.s (1963)

Spend time at an airport terminal and you'll catch glimpses of other people's lives; mini-dramas, all slightly connected due to the shared location.
Elizabeth Taylor looks gorgeous doing her thing; Richard Burton steals the show, like he often does, doing his; Orson Welles pops up and does something different. The sense of attachment and emotion is absent, except for one fabulous scene. If you must, watch it for the cast and not the script.
