What I love about this film is the performances given by both O'Toole and Burton. The chemistry electrifies each and every scene. What is an extra bonus is the brilliance of casting John Gielgud. Gielgud has some of the funniest lines and he just casually lets them roll off his smiling face.

Watch how Peter and Richard work off each other in the scene below. They are playfully trying to steal the scene from each other with their physical actions. When O'Toole takes the towel, Burton puts his back to him and plays with his cuffs. Oh man, its great watching these two play with each other. They must have gotten piss drunk at the end of each day of shooting.
