Joseph L. Mankiewicz (All About Eve) directs this 1959 adaptation by Gore Vidal and Tennessee Williams of Williams’ provocative drama , Suddenly, Last Summer.

Elizabeth Taylor takes charge in Suddenly, Last Summer

Elizabeth Taylor (Cleopatra) stars as a young woman who knows such terrible truths about the death of her cousin Sebastian that his mother (Katharine Hepburn, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner) is determined to have her lobotomized; Montgomery Clift is the psychiatrist brought in to evaluate the lovely, profoundly disturbed patient. Both Taylor and Hepburn received Best Actress Oscar nominations; the film, denounced as obscene, was a hit at the box office.

Special features include an isolated music & effects track and the film’s original theatrical trailer.
