...exits and entrances are well-timed, although slowed by the audience's initial reactions to Burton (who looks graceful and distinguished in a tuxedo, though his shoe-heels are about three inches too high for the 1930s of Private Lives) and Taylor, who enters confidently in a low-cut nightgown and robe.
