The Sandpiper is a 1965 film starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, and directed by Vincente Minnelli. Taylor is a free-spirited hippy dwelling with other layabouts on a beach when she meets Burton, the straight-laced headmaster of his son's boarding school. It also stars Eva Marie Saint as Burton's longsuffering wife and Charles Bronson as an avant garde beach bum. The song from this picture, "The Shadow Of Your Smile," won the Academy Award.
