This 1959 film starred both Elizabeth Taylor and Katherine Hepburn. Each is a stunning actress in her occupy just. But do them together, and the conceal honest sizzles. Each one has long monologues lasting for more than 15 minutes, but, because of their talents, I was riveted to my seat the entire time. Adapted from a play by Tennessee Williams who was joined by Gore Vidal in writing the screenplay, it’s a strikingly strange anecdote dwelling in 1937 Novel Orleans and deals with the sensitive subjects of insanity, lobotomy and cannibalism.
When we judge that the film was released during a time of high censorship, we have to applaud the writing, which had to conform to the guidelines of the time. Perhaps for this reason though, some of the record is not quite crystal distinct. But this doesn’t matter, nor does it matter that the Southern accents seem either non-authentic or missing altogether. That’s because of the strength of the performances. And not every detail has to always be tied up in a shapely package. If you’re looking for a lightweight, comfortable film, you won’t get it here. Instead you’ll procure a disturbing controversial theme and some of the best on-screen performances by you’ll ever contemplate.
Tennessee Williams SOUTHERN GOTH masterpiece a la unlit sunless and white Hollywood film style with Joseph (All About Eve, Guys & Dolls) Mankiewicz at the director’s helm and screenplay adapted by Gore Vidal.

Elizabeth Taylor plays dazzling and crazy Cathy and Mercedes McCambridge (the actress who provided the negate of the demon in The Exorcist) plays her protective mother.

This all happened in front of Cathy’s young & virginal eyes, “Suddenly, Last Summer”. Last summer, Cathy and Sebastian travelled to Europe on an extravagant, decadent & obviously quite hedonistic vacation. Mrs. Venable was already quite traumatized by a baby sea turtle massacre last summer on the Galapogos Islands and Kathy was raped that very summer but what happened to cousin Sebastian in Europe was something that completely broke Kathy’s fragile mind.

Auntie Venable gets the aid of Dr. Cukrowicz, played by Montgomery Clift to examine if he can encourage awful Cathy out with a prescibed lobotomy and mainly to place the selfish & overbearing Mrs. Venable from having people know about her son’s secrets that got him killed.
From the opening scene, the viewer is riveted to the cover and left wondering… wondering… WHAT really happened so suddenly, last summer? The film builds and builds into the last 20 minutes of this film where Taylor gives a sizable soliliquy and overview of impartial what DID happen to abominable Sebastian. The split-screen do that is veteran in this ending scene is extraordinary. You never survey Sebastian so what you are conjuring up in your mind is Mighty MORE horrific than they could have filmed benefit then. Fantastic cast with suitable performances from all but Clift who was quite medicated during the grueling shoot due to an accident before filming. If you are a Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Taylor or Katharine Hepburn fan this is a MUST Inspect!
Happy Watching!
