In 1930, the "Hays Code" was implemented. In order to ensure the "pure" of the film, the content related to crime and sex was strictly restricted, and the creative space of filmmakers was severely squeezed. The code was officially cancelled until 1966. "Summer Fantasy" was created in 1959, just in time for the validity period of the Hayes Code. In those days, "incest", "homosexuality", "pedophile" and "promiscuity" are topics that are now extremely sensitive and are stuffed into the same...

This cycle started with Catherine Hepburn. Producer Sam Spiegel prepares to package Tennessee Williams' drama "Summer Cry" to Columbia, with Elizabeth Taylor starring.

They all say that expressing same-sex feelings implicitly, I think I already understand it, but the plot is tight and intense, and the final climax is a sigh of relief. Monty may be the stiff facial expression after the car accident. The performance is not good, but I prefer to believe that he is deliberately suppressing his heart. Real Emotion Sebastian is not the real...

If this script were to be filmed now, it would have a more modern expression. For example, everything that happened in "Last Summer" could be presented directly through the camera lens, instead of using the characters' large lines to express. But in any case, Tennessee Williams' digging into the psychology of characters is...

Mrs. Venable: Sebastian always said, 'Mother when you descend it's like the Goddess from the Machine. You look just like angel coming to earth' as I float, float into view. Sebastian, my son Sebastian was very interested in the Byzantine. Are you interested in the Byzantine Doctor...?
Dr. Cukrowicz: Cukrowicz. I don't know very much about the Byzantine.
Mrs. Venable: It seems that the Emperor of Byzantium - when he received people in audience - had a throne which, during the conversation, would rise mysteriously into the air to the consternation of his visitors. But as we are living in a democracy, I reverse the procedure. I don't rise, I come down.
