Starting with "Cleopatra" her films got progressively worse.The Sandpiper is entertaining but nothing special. The best thing about it is the cinematography, which is generally highly regarded.
The only really good films starring Liz and Dick are "Cleopatra" and "Taming of the Shrew." Neither is a classic but both are very entertaining.
On my 1 to 10 scale, GIANT is a 10, CLEOPATRA is a 7, TAMING OF THE SHREW is a 7, and The Sandpiper is a 6 1/2.
Don't ask about "BOOM", also starring Liz and Dick. A bloody awful movie and only a 3 on my scale.
