Summary: Classic Movie Ahead Of It's Time!
Comment: 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 institutions..............how times have changed as far as films addressing this touchy issues!
Very well done, don't miss this one!

Summary: Not bad! But not astoundingly wonderful either.
Comment: I was recommended this film not long ago and finally watched it tonight. I think the person, who recommended it to me, gave away too much of the story which more than likely deflated the last 20 minutes for me.
I guess I am being overly fastidious when it comes to facts but I don't recall Spain having a city named "Cabeza de Lobo." I've even tried to google it with not much success. Was it fictional? Okay that's fine but I don't remember Spain having historical "temples" either. They have very old churches and cathedrals which are catholic. I was impressed how Elizabeth and Katherine pronounced Cabeza like a Spaniard as in "Cabetha." And I thought to myself, "way to go ladies with your "Castilian accent!"
The horrendous act that follows in this scene remind me of what would more logically happen in historic Mexico or certain parts of Latin America, not Spain. I don't want to give away details for the few of you who haven't seen this film already so you'll just have to watch it in order to know what I'm referencing. :)
I thought all performances were quite good. Some people harp on Montgomery Clift for not doing so well, accusing him of being like "cardboard." But that's how a lot of doctors generally are, in real life so many lack emotion. In contrast I thought he was a doctor who truly "cared."
Without giving away much of what "Suddenly, Last Summer" focuses on I would like to recommend "The Children's Hour" with Shirley Maclain and Audrey Hepburn. The story has a similar scandal dealing with the same topic and is so very well done. It's a gorgeous black and white film as well and all the performances are mesmerizing. It sort of reminds me of an old black and white Twilight Zone movie with its haunting like style.

Summary: eh...
Comment: Interesting movie, sad, a little depressing. I had to buy this for a film class. Didn't love it for its entertainment value. It was thought-provoking.
