Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureDirected by Joseph L Mankiewicz (Dragonwyck, All About Eve, Cleopatra) from the play by Tennessee Williams (A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and brilliantly adapted for the screen by Gore Vidal (Ben-Hur, Myra Breckinridge), Suddenly, Last Summer casts three of Hollywood's most iconic talents (Elizabeth Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, Montgomery Clift) in a daring and often delirious mix of lurid drama and Gothic horror. Sensational and wildly controversial at the time of its release, Suddenly, Last Summer now stands as a classic - and stills packs a provocative punch.Extras4K restoration from the original negativeOriginal mono audioJoseph L Mankiewicz Interview (1990, 10 mins): the renowned filmmaker discusses his career in a segment from the French TV series Cinéma cinémasElizabeth Taylor on Montgomery Clift (1966, 2 mins): the celebrated actress pays tribute to her friend and co-star shortly after his tragic death in July 1966Gary Raymond on 'Suddenly, Last Summer' (2018): a new interview with the versatile British actorAbout Last Summer (2018, 16 mins): second assistant editor John Crome shares his experience of making Suddenly, Last SummerRemembering Last Summer (2018, 3 mins): continuity supervisor Elaine Schreyeck recalls working with Mankiewicz, Hepburn and CliftThe Predator and the Prey (2017, 26 mins): critic and film historian Michel Ciment examines the film's production and explores its complex themes and concernsIsolated music and effects trackOriginal theatrical trailerTrailer commentary with Dan Ireland (2013, 3 mins): a short critical appreciationImage gallery: on-set photography, publicity stills and promotional materialsNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
