Spine tips lightly rubbed; cloth very faintly rubbed visible only when you turn the book to catch the light. In a lovely near fine dust jacket -- spine just a bit sunned. <br/><br/>"Butterfield 8" was made into a film in 1960; directed by Daniel Mann starring Elizabeth Taylor and Laurence Harvey. Taylor then 28 years old won her first Academy Award for her performance in a leading role. According to MGM records the film made $6.8 million in the US and Canada and $3.2 million in other countries resulting in a profit to the studio of $1857000 -- making it MGM's biggest hit of the year. Elizabeth Taylor and her then-husband Eddie Fisher hated the film referring to it as "Butterball Four." Her famous response to the success of the film made under protest in order to fulfill a contractual obligation to MGM before being allowed to depart to 20th Century Fox to make Cleopatra: "I still say it stinks." Elizabeth reportedly hated the film because at the time of its making the studio was tying her down to the project and in response to her "stealing" Eddie Fisher away from his previous wife Debbie Reynolds U.S. fans were referring to Taylor as a "slut" and a "homewrecker" descriptions which also describe her character Gloria.
