Suddenly, Last Summer
"Suddenly, Last Summer" - is one of the scariest films I've seen. Directed in 1959 by Joseph Mankievitz and based on one of Tennessee Williams' plays, it deals with very disturbing topics. Elizabeth Taylor is sensational, playing Catherine, the girl who may have lost her mind after having witnessed her cousin's bizarre death that occurred "suddenly, last summer" during the vacation. Katherine Hepburn is magnificent as his adoring mother who wants the disturbing memories been surgically removed from the girl's memory. Production design, set decorations, and costumes are absolutely stunning. Both, Hepburn and Taylor received very deserving Oscar nominations for the best leading performance.
Superbly written, directed and acted. Elizabeth Taylor at her best and at the height of her beauty. Katharine Hepburn playing herself to the hilt. Monty Cliff giving all he had left. An amazing mystery culminating with a shocking end told cleverly within the confines of the Production Code. Elizabeth Taylor was nominated a third time for this performance and would won the consolation prize next year for the trashy Butterfield 8.
