Ash Wednesday (Full Frame)

VHS, 96 minutes, PARAMOUNT

Elizabeth Taylor plays Barbara Sawyer, whose beauty has faded during her 30-year marriage to a powerful attorney (Henry Fonda). Hoping to restore romance to her life, Barbara travels to Italy for extensive plastic surgery (shown in graphic detail that was highly controversial in its day). She emerges with dazzling new looks and a restored, radiant confidence - but will she find love? With stunning Edith Head fashions, the gorgeous scenery of a posh Italian ski resort and Elizabeth Taylor's astonishing "ugly duckling to elegant swan" transformation, Ash Wednesday is romance at its most glamorous.
