Regardless of its big-name cast and its considerable-sized budget, I view Suddenly Last Summer as being the worst and most horrible-minded movies of all-time. When it comes to movies that are deemed as strictly "adult" in their subject matter, I'm no prude, but, still, I consider this ugly-minded film, that generously mixes into its vicious, back-stabbing story elements of ruthless backmail, the threat of lobotomy to obliterate a dark secret, and the lecherous sexual molestation of naive, teenage boys by a smug, self-righteous homosexual man, to be completely distasteful and geared to a mentality that sinks even lower than that of gutter-level. And all of this wrapped up with a nasty, sordid ending that offered not even the slightest inkling of an apology for the two hours of hell that it just put its viewers through. I can't remember the last time that any other movie left such a long-lasting, bad taste in my mouth that not even mouthwash could destroy. Suddenly Last Summer was disgusting film-making.
