I never thought I'd see a movie featuring the likes of Richard Burton and Virna Lisi be stolen by the likes of Joey Heatherton, but here it is. BLUEBEARD, directed by the venerable hack Edward Dmytryk, has some fun things in it, but Burton as the legendary wife killer is not one of them. Is he Welsh? German? French? Who knows? His wives appear to come from every corner of the world --- his latest being Heatherton, as a showgirl on a European tour. She uncovers his secret and is soon acting like Nancy Drew in a mini skirt even though the film is set shortly after WWI. Some of this is amusing, none of it is very good and Burton is very bad. With Raquel Welch as a nymphomaniac nun and Nathalie Delon, who names her breasts (it's that kind of movie).
