"'Insanity' is such a useless word!"--Suddenly, Last Summer
Went shopping. We had to drive through a blizzard!
Dinner was salmon.
Saw the DVD of Joseph L Mankiewicz' movie of Tennessee Williams' Suddenly, Last Summer. (Gore Vidal worked on the script.) It's the one where Katharine Hepburn wants brain surgeon Montgomery Clift to lobotomize her niece Elizabeth Taylor, who has a scandalous tale to tell of Kate's son's death, involving pederasty and cannibalism. A grotesque yet corny melodrama. [Basically, it's about Elizabeth Taylor as gay icon!]
The opera is so popular this season that we're in danger of running out of tickets!
