''Suddenly Last Summer'', a 1959 movie starring [[Montgomery Clift]] as Dr. Cukrowicz, opposite [[Elizabeth Taylor]] and [[Katherine Hepburn]], adapted from a play by [[Tennessee Williams]]. The screenplay was by both Tennessee Williams and [[Gore Vidal]]. =Synopsis= Katherine Hepburn wants her niece Elizabeth Taylor, who has gone insane, lobotomized by the doctor, to prevent her from spilling the secret of how Katherine's son actually died.

The wealthy widow Violet Venables requests he come to see her, as she is very interested in his work, and so next we meet her played by [[Katherine Hepburn]]. Violet tells John that not only is she a widow but her only child Sebastian who was a poet, has recently died. Violet speaks about Sebastian constantly, his favorite color was white, he was a poet, he died young, he had this or that view of this or that. Now we learn that there is an insane niece who evidently is raving horrible things about Sebastian at a nunnery. Violet then relates a graphic story of how she and Sebastian witnessed the annual hatching of the sea turtle eggs and their race to the sea while thousands of flesh-eating birds devour them before they can.<blockquote>"Sebastian saw the face of God"</blockquote><blockquote>"We're all of us trapped by this devouring creation"</blockquote>
