''Reflections in a Golden Eye'', a 1967 movie starring [[Elizabeth Taylor]] and [[Marlon Brando]], directed by John Huston. =Casting Note= When [[Montgomery Clift]] was side-lined as being uninsurable, Elizabeth agreed to put up her own money as a bond, so he could play opposite her in 1967's ''Reflections in a Golden Eye''. But, since shooting had not commenced at Monty's death, his part was subsequently played by Marlon Brando. =Synopsis= Elizabeth Taylor plays Leonora Penderton, the wife of an Army officer Major Weldon Penderton, played by Marlon Brando. Leonora is having an affair with an older officer Lt. Col. Morris Langdon played by Brian Keith. She also sometimes trades barbs with Weldon about Weldon's inability to satisfy her, and her own outrageous behavior. Meanwhile Robert Forster, in his film debut, as Private L.G. Williams is a Peeping Tom, spying on all the other players from afar. He is also spotted riding one of the horses while nude, and he breaks into the Penderton house in order to watch Leonora sleep. Meanwhile Morris' wife Alison Langdon played by Julie Harris is recovering from mental problems caused by the death of their daughter some years before. She mostly stays in her room, keeping amused with her Phillipino houseboy Anacleto played by Zorro David. The Army base has horses and all the characters go out riding from time-to-time. Brando takes Taylor's horse out alone, and the high-spirited horse acts up, at one point dragging Brando along the ground. Brando takes out his revenge by whipping the horse. Pvt. Williams appears, nude, and leads the horse back to the stables where he tends the wounds. When Taylor finds out about the whipping, she whips Weldon with a riding-crop in front of their cocktail party guests. Alison having insomnia, has been noticing someone going in and out of the Penderton house in the night. Finally she rushes over, thinking it's her husband. Running upstairs she turns on the light only to find Pvt. Williams sitting in Leonora's room sniffing her undergarments, while she is sound asleep.
