Plot: An aging actress gives up her career and vacations in Italy where she meets and has an affair with an attractive gigolo.
Extremely subdued. I think Quintero is to blame - seems like he has no idea how to direct for the screen. Leigh essentially sleepwalks through her role, Beatty appears to be confused most of the time and the film consequently has very little resonance despite starting off with a handful of unusual themes and characters.
Loved, loved Vivien in it, but other than that...meh. I've seen better, WAY better, Tennessee Williams-written stories.
There is a very sombre pace in this film as it unwinds. There is no rush to the inevitable doom that awaits its heroine played by Vivien Leigh. We all know what is going to happen to her and dont know how to stop this woman on a spiralling path to her own self destruction. Vivien Leigh glows with an aloofness and she is superb. So is Lotte Lenya. Not evryones cup of tea but its always wonderful to watch class acting
Beatty felt a little miscast, his accent seemed calculated and forced through each syllable. I think Leigh was wonderful, the pain in her character oddly mirrored a part of her life at that time so her performance is very authentic. It's really just watching her, and how her character is quite tragic in her grasping at the last thread of life and love, the needing for it, that is very poetic and sad. The ending I liked in its ambiguity and lasting impression.
I feel really uncomfortable watching this film, you just know that this women is going to be destroyed...
Wonderful performances all round...
Again Tennesse Williams has left me slightly desolate...
