Review of Suddenly, Last Summer (1959) by Jenny W — 26 Oct 2012
Though the performances-- particularly from Elizabeth Taylor-- create a tunnel vision in which it is impossible to look away from the screen, there is much to desired with this film as a whole. Tennessee Williams' insanity conveys a mixed message about homosexuality in society that is too disturbing and absurd to take seriously.
The acting is the this piece's saving grace. Yet, at the same time, that is really all that is going for it.
