Joseph L. Mankiewicz Centennial &#8211; Part I
And if Guys and Dolls (1955) was a bore &#8212; just about everyone in this film musical is miscast, from  Brando to Mankiewicz himself &#8212; the director recovered his touch with the  adult (and bizarre)  Suddenly, Last  Summer (1959),  a psychotic psychological drama adapted by Gore Vidal and (officially) Tennessee Williams from Williams&#8217;s own play. (Williams later said he had nothing to do with the film version.) 
The story follows a young woman (Elizabeth Taylor) who is sent to a psychiatric hospital after she suffers a nervous breakdown following some horrific traumatic experience. Things can get quite heady &#8212; bad pun intended &#8212; when you mix  traditional Southern [...]]]></description>

Considered by many one of Joseph L. Mankiewicz&#8217;s lesser films, The Barefoot Contessa is a classy, intelligently written, and generally well acted morality tale. Inspired by the life of Rita Hayworth (née Margarita Cansino), the film&#8217;s plot revolves around the tragic fate of Maria Vargas, a great, earthy beauty who becomes a Hollywood movie star. Besides Jack Cardiff&#8217;s beautiful cinematography and Mario Nascimbene&#8217;s melancholy score, The Barefoot Contessa offers Ava Gardner in top form &#8212; both as a star and as an actress. Humphrey Bogart offers solid support as a film director, while director-screenwriter Joseph L. Mankiewicz (All About Eve, 5 Fingers, Sleuth) handles the proceedings with his usual sophisticated flair.
