In 1930 s New Orleans, a wealthy and eccentric older woman named Mrs. Venable (Katharine Hepburn), wants a surgeon (Montgomery Clift) to perform a lobotomy on her niece (Elizabeth Taylor), for reasons that become clear toward the end of the film. This macabre Tennessee Williams story, with overlapping adult themes, must surely have been a shock to audiences in 1959. The film provides a great vehicle for the talents of both Hepburn whose acting is engaging, and Taylor whose performance is superb. The Mankiewicz script is very talky. The characters of both Hepburn and Taylor engage in lengthy and at times tedious monologues. In all that talking, at least there are some really good lines. My favorite is near the beginning. In a nonchalant tone, Mrs. Venable tells us about the daily vicissitudes of Lady, the Venus flytrap that Mrs. Venable keeps in her garden. Lady must be kept under glass, and while she is under glass, we have to provide her with flies, flown in at great expense. Priceless. As one would expect for a film derived from a stage play, cinematography and music are less important than dialogue and acting. Suddenly Last Summer is worth viewing for its unusual story, and for the acting accomplishments of Hepburn and Taylor.

I had the privilege of seeing Ms. Jefferies as Blanche in the Alley Theatre production of Streetcar back in 1996. I would have loved to have seen her in this production. Houston’s loss is your gain.
