In a desperate attempt to save her faltering marriage, 55yearold Barbara Sawyer submits to fullbody plastic surgery in a Swiss clinic, then checks into an exclusive ski resort Cortina dAmpezzo to await the arrival of her attorney husband Mark. Reveling in her considerably younger and tauter appearance, she allows playboy Erich to seduce her. When Mark finally arrives, he makes an announcement that changes Barbaras initial plans forever.The films critical reception was reasonably favorable, particularly for Taylor, who was nominated for a Golden Globe. Rex Reeds review in The New York Observer amounted to a love letter to Taylor Shes subtle, sensitive, glowing with freshness and beauty, fifty pounds lighter in weight, her hair is coiffed simply, her clothes ravishing, her makeup a symphony of perfection. For those who grew up in love with Elizabeth Taylor, the movie is pure magic. She is once again the kind of star marquees light up for. ........
