Tennessee Williams Special: Suddenly, Last Summer vs. Boom!

Welcome to Highbrow Lowbrow. The show where our podcast hosts Steve Powell and Dan Slattery pit high art against low culture.

In this episode, we look at the work of Tennessee Williams on screen, and two film adaptations of his plays starring Elizabeth Taylor.

Dan argues that Suddenly, Last Summer is a near-perfect adaptation of Williams' work, mixing Southern Gothic and Queer Cinema with aplomb.

Whereas Steve argues that the little-seen Boom! may have been a box-office bomb, but is an essential episode in the Liz Taylor / Richard Burton soap opera played out on screen. 

Beware spoilers. Enjoy the show....
