Taylor's first two films made under her new contract were released ten days apart in early 1954. The first was "Rhapsody", a romantic film starring her as a woman caught in a love triangle with two musicians. The second was "Elephant Walk", a drama in which she played a British woman struggling to adapt to life on her husband's tea plantation in Ceylon. She had been loaned to Paramount Pictures for the film after its original star, Vivien Leigh, fell ill.
