" Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz His 16th Movie My 10th movie watched from the director Incredible acting, impressively adapted, and a movie that seemed ahead of its time.

Mankiewicz Top Ten Performances - Elizabeth Taylor Top Ten Performances - Montgomery Clift Top Ten Performances - Katherine Hepburn"
