Reviews for Butterfield 8
"Mama face it, I was the slut of all time," Liz Taylor's hooker confronts her mother, and that's pretty much sums up the nature of this glossy, trashy melodrama that Hollywood used to make until TV appropriated the genre, even so, it's a guilty pleasure.
When viewed today it's a work of considerable dreck, it's badly dated and unappealing.
