Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s scandalous affair overshadowed the film. Combined with production delays and ballooning costs, the movie nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox. The ambitious sets and extravagant costumes added to the financial strain, but the public’s fascination with the actors' off-screen romance helped draw audiences. Taylor’s numerous illnesses further complicated the schedule, forcing the crew to halt production repeatedly. Despite its troubled history, the film eventually became a box-office hit and remains an iconic cinematic experience.
