Movie Description
Gore Vidal's stark, powerful screen adaptation of Tennessee Williams's play explores the trauma of Catherine (Elizabeth Taylor), whose homosexual cousin dies an unspeakable and gradually revealed death while traveling with her in Europe. Katharine Hepburn as the murdered man's mother can't bear to hear the details of her son's death, preferring instead to have a lobotomy performed on her niece, insisting that the girl is mad. But a doctor (Montgomery Clift) is determined to explore the reasons behind the girl's inexplicable actions and words, eventually uncovering the secrets the mother wants to hide. Williams's play explicitly stated why the murdered man's death so traumatized his cousin, but this adaptation written by Vidal and filled with wild, moody tension by director Joseph L. Mankiewicz allows viewers to read between the lines and gather their own suspicions about Sebastian Venable's death. Taylor radiates uncertainty and fear as the girl terrorized by her cousin's death and her fierce aunt's obsession to keep her quiet, while Hepburn sways with menace in one of her few, deliciously played roles as a villainess. Both actresses were nominated for Best Actress Oscars for their performances.

   Photo Montage, Tennessee Williams's play explicitly states what happened to the dead cousin, and exactly what the horror was that haunted the girl: cannibalism. The film, however, is much more vague on the details of his death.

    I recently saw this a second time on TCM and was again spellbound by this Tennessee William's play with its all star cast of Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift and Katharine Hepburn. Famed director Joseph Mankiewicz does an outstanding job of bringing together this emotionally mix-up family, with deep rooted secrets, to the big screen. Wealthy Southern matriarch, Hepburn, her supposedly mad niece, Taylor and Montgomery, a neuro-surgeon come together in a fascinating talk fest of getting to the main point, what happened suddenly that summer to Sebastian, Hepburn's supposedly God-like son. Only Williams could write about incest, cannibalism and homosexuality in this style. Hot with the Southern heat & passion that always seems to prevail in his plays, this adaptation was edited for the 1959 movie crowd. For the full force, read the play.
