Movie Reviews of Suddenly, Last Summer
Movie Review: Great film, good DVD extras
Summary: 5 Stars
Lots of stills in the DVD extras and vintage advertising dress up this DVD issue of "Suddenly Last Summer". It belongs in any comprehensive collection of gay-themed films, as it is among the first to deal with gay subject matter. Tenessee Williams thought Liz was wildly miscast as Cousin Sebastian's wishy-washy travel companion, but history has been kind to her sensitive portrayal of the disturbed young woman. Katherine Hepburn camps it up as Aunt Vie and Mercedes McCambridge chews up scenery as Liz's money grubbing Mom, who's willing to mandate a labotomy for Liz in order to silence her memories of what Sebastian did, for a nice payoff from Katherine, who is in complete denial! Monty Clift underplays as the surgeon who must try and decide what Liz really needs. A truly unique movie with an unforgettable ending that still shocks. Buy it up!Movie Review: Classic Movie Ahead Of It's Time!
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally got the chance to see this movie in it's entirety on Turner Movie Classics a few weeks ago and enjoyed it so much, I purchased the DVD here at Amazon! A very deep, somewhat dark movie (which I love) with solid performances by Ms. Taylor (absolutely beautiful!), Montgomery Clift (filmed after his unfortunate car accident, so sad!), Katherine Hepburn and Mercedes McCambridge (a big change of character from Johnny Guitar!).
Get ready for a 1950's film addressing homosexuality, aging, religious beliefs and mental times have changed as far as films addressing this touchy issues!
Very well done, don't miss this one!
Movie Review: suddenly, last summer
Summary: 5 Stars
what dosent this movie have? incest, homosexuality, mental illness, experimental brain surgery, carnivourous plants, greedy, grasping southern relatives (greedy southern relatives are best because they try to do it with good manners, and always the best intentions)and ,above all, katherine hepburn, and elizabeth taylor. well worth watching, although not much is shown{because of production codes and such) but plenty is inferred, and sometimes isnt it better to use our imaginations than to have to have someone draw us a picture? by the way, no offense to greedy southerners. im one myself.Movie Review: Complex film with great performances.
Summary: 5 Stars
Suddenly, Last Summer is about many things, and the one thing it deals with is the nature of God,who appears to be like human and non human nature, violent and staggeringly cruel.
Elizabeth Taylor stands out in this film, and her final monolgue is shattering , one of her favorite portrayals; and Katharine Hepburn is dynamite as Sebastian Venable's mother, one of her very best performancres.
See this unforgettable film about God, and how we are all trapped by a savage, devouring creation, all synthesized for us suddenly, last summer.
Movie Review: Classic Movie At Its Finest
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent movie. Movies aren't made like this anymore. Katherine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor are devine actresses. This movie showcases them both in the best way. Suddenly Last Summer is poetic and dramatic at the same time. It's a must see. There are hidden undertones in the movie that one can find in the poetic lines given by both actresses. Certain things were allowed to be said directly during the time that this movie was made. I recommend this movie to all Classic Movie Fans old and young.
