X, Y and Zee (1972)

aka Zee and Co.

Robert and Zee Blakeley (Michael Caine and Elizabeth Taylor) are the very definition of a destructive marriage. They spend much of their time trying to out-bitch each other as much as possible. That's the basic plot. The film is a frustrating mess with interesting ideals but an appalling delivery. Liz is in her gaudy clothes and frizzy hair years making me wish I was watching one of her earlier films instead. Caine fails as a cockney Casanova.
