Director Joseph L. Mankiewicz (“All About Eve” 1950) created a cinematic masterpiece called “Suddenly, Last Summer.” Elizabeth Taylor portrays a woman under evaluation by a psychiatrist (Montgomery Clift) after witnessing the death of her cousin the previous summer. The individual requesting the exam is her aunt, played by Katherine Hepburn, whose mental stability also comes into question.
The marvelous screenplay was penned by Gore Vidal, adapted from Tennessee Williams’ 1958 stage play of the same name. Co-stars include Mercedes McCambridge, Albert Dekker, Gary Raymond, Mavis Villiers, Patricia Marmont, and Joan Young as Sister Felicity. “Suddenly, Last Summer” was successful with the public for producer Sam Spiegel, Horizon Pictures, Academy Pictures Corporation, Camp Films, and Columbia Pictures.
