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.Read full review

The story is bold. The language bold. The performances are bold, bold, bold. One of the great over-wrought and unintended comedies of all time.
