PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Edna O\u2019Brien adapted her own novel for X Y and Zee<\/em><\/strong>, a campy soap opera starring Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine, and Susannah York as the three points of a triangle that has very little to do with love. Taylor\u2019s a sharp-toungued vulgarian, determined to break up her architect husband\u2019s latest affair, even if it means seducing his mistress herself.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Twilight Time releases X Y & Zee<\/em><\/strong> onto Blu-ray presented with a 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio and has been given a nice looking, and colorful, 1080p high-definition transfer. The disc includes a fine DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track which outputted good dialogue levels and okay depth for the music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Although X Y & Zee<\/em><\/strong> is a bit too outlandish for me, the trio cast of Taylor, Caine and York was fun to watch and some of the darker humor did work. The Blu-ray from Twilight Time has good video and audio transfers but sadly no features.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
