Bluebeard is the retelling of the now familiar story of a wealthy aristocrat who marries and murders and marries again. Baron Von Sepper (Richard_Burton), the BlueBeard of the story, meets and marries Anne (Joey_Heatherton) who becomes suspicious of Von Sepper when she finds evidence of his murders shortly after their wedding. Van Sepper then, in graphic detail, tells Anne the stories of his former wives' lives and deaths. The movie, directed with ham-handed archness by Edward_Dmytryk, attempts to tell the story as a black comedy. Despite an array of beautiful women, including (Virna_Lisi), (Nathalie_Delon) and (Raquel_Welch), nothing can distract from the abysmal performances of Burton and Heatherton. The film has some nice costumes and is beautifully photographed by cinematographer Gabor_Pogany, but all the humor is unintentional and the actors, particularly Richard_Burton all seem to wish they were elsewhere.
