I remember when James Mason and Sue Lyon did "Lolita." There was soooooooooo much controversy surrounding that film, yet today people would barely yawn. lol

And there were a few remakes of that film too. As you say, nothing comes close to the original.

My favorite "dramatic" couple from your neck of the woods was Hampstead-London England born Elizabeth Taylor (to American parents) and Wales-born Richard Burton. As I was growing up, they kept the tabloid press spinning with their individual and couple escapades. lol I have not seen anything like them since.

I miss Burton. His voice was so very memorable.....
