IN HET HEETSTE VAN DE ZOMER

The only son of wealthy widow Violet Venable dies while on vacation with his cousin Catherine. What the girl saw was so horrible that she went insane; now Mrs. Venable wants Catherine lobotomized to cover up the truth.

Featuring a perfect combo of talents: Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift, Katharine Hepburn—a collaboration only possible in Hollywood’s golden age. Joseph L. Mankiewicz realizes Tennessee Williams’ most scandalous play as a gothic psychosexual melodrama with great complexity and ambiguity to match.
