Tennesee Williams's story makes for bleak but compelling viewing. Condemned from the pulpit on release, the story is of an innocent young girl, seduced by her father's rival in an attempt to get revenge for past wrongs. A study of human moral decay that still manages to cut to the bone. Superb. find out more...

Many people consider this to be superior to Scorsese's recent remake; Mitchum is superb as the sadist, newly released from jail and determined to exact a hideous revenge on the prosecutor (Peck) that sent him down. This aroused enormous controversy when first released in Britain in 1963. find out more...

Based on a Tennessee Williams play and touching on all manner of depraved horrors. Taylor plays the girl driven to madness by what she's witnessed and Clift is the shrink being pressured to lobotomise her, but Hepburn steals the show as the unnervingly genteel aunt trying to sweep everything under the carpet. find out more...
