Description

Elizabeth Taylor and Katharine Hepburn star in this 1950s drama based on Tennessee Williams' play. After witnessing her cousin's death while travelling with him in Europe, Catherine Holly (Taylor) suffers a mental breakdown and is confined to a mental institution in New Orleans. Her aunt, Violet Venable (Hepburn), attempts to persuade neurosurgeon Dr Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift) to perform a lobotomy on Catherine in order to end her hallucinations and prevent her from revealing the truth about her son's death.
