At a time when the whole world is condoling over the death of an actress of the yesteryear Elizabeth Taylor (fondly known as Liz Taylor), I thought of revealing a suprising news and this will be a welcome suprise for her fans and admirers in Sri Lanka.
Elzabeth Taylor had come to Sri Lanka way back in 1950s and acted in a film titled ‘Elephant Walk’ which was released by Paramount Pictures in 1954. Based on the novel of the same name by Robert Standish.
The Film plot is about a young British Lady (who is portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor) who marries a British Planter in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and her story after visiting her husbands plantation Bunglow in Ceylon. The film turns a dramatic turn when she gets to know that her husbands father had built the bunglow on the path where the Elephants travel resulting in occassional encounters with the Elephants and the outbreak of an epidemic in the plantation.
There is a thrilling scene in this film (closer to the end) where a herd of Elephants crash the walls and enter the the bunglow. This film is worth watcing and I do hope that some local TV station would broadcast this film as this is the best time to show this film.
Below is a scene from the film

Dear dee
Thank You For Your Comment
I know this is a very facinating news and though this film having Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) at its backdrop it is a Hollywood film directed by William Dieterle.According to information I received this was aired on a Local Television channel once a long time back.
Lets hope they would release it once again
Thank You Once Again
