Doctor Faustus Movie

I did not really enjoy this movie. I thought that the video was more about showing the relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton than presenting the actual story. It seemed as though there were many times when Taylor's character appeared unnecissarily. I was also confused as to who her character was and why she did not have any lines. The production of the movie was very nice though. The sets looked very authentic. I thought the scene at the Vatican was very well done. The movie did not really help with my understanding of the play, but I do understand that this is a very challenging play to translate onto stage and the screen.  To be fair, I did not enjoy the original version of the play, so I did not have very high expectations for the movie version.
