I could listen to her sweet, gentle voice all day long.

What a wonderful actress. Miss her so much!

i think this is one of kerr's best perfomances!!!!!

I’m moved to tears. What a writer he was!

Her pace /timing(@1:01) is , one of the finest example of Huston's directorial prowess & her instincts as an actor.

LOVE that line. "there are worse things than chastity, yes lunancy and death" one of the all time best lines in films....

"Nothing human disgusts me, Mr. Shannon, unless it's unkind, or violent." The ESSENCE of Tennessee Williams's magnificence and probably the finest, most humane, most profound thought ever expressed in any film.

Well said, yarbroughr. I've thought the same thing. That scene, that acting job and that movie/play has stayed with me for years.

Magnificent dialogue, the words, the acting, the lighting!

This is my favorite scene in this fabulous movie.

Beautiful writing and brilliant acting. This is the scene I was looking for.

I often find myself coming back to this clip. Her lovely, understated reading. Burton keeping it so clear and simple. And the sublime thought/translation that Williams so beautifully crafted from Terence: "Homo sum humani a me nihil alienum puto ("I am a human being; nothing human is strange to me")." PS Of course some people say Terence didn't write it. But I just love the idea that Williams was borrowing/transforming the line from another great playwright.

Just visited Mismaloya, only an arch remains of the original set which started to disintegrate while the movie was being shot. The acting, especially of Kerr,and Burton, was among the finest I have ever watched in any movie since.

I spent time south of Puerto Vallarta 45 years ago when the coastal road was dirt

Beautiful scene is a great movie.

"Nothing disgusts me....unless it's unkind or violent. " What a great line.....enjoyed this movie of human sexuality and struggling with it.

I was that Aussie underwear salesman.

This is the scene I always look for in this wonderful movie. Thank you for posting.

With an even more beautiful voice. As a male if I could sound like anyone it would be him.

Huston gets the best out of actors and actresses. He said he lets them alone until they ask for help, then, and only then, he offers suggestions. Of course, it helps to work with the greats like Kerr, Burton, Bogart, Hepburn, Huston etc.

What DIALOG that man could write. A last taste of the sublime before Tennessee Williams entered his own long, dark tunnel of drugs and despair.

If the world took this philosophy, what a beautiful world it would be!

This scene might be very mysterious to some, but very knowing to others who will understand it.

Just curious. What's your interpretation of it.

...perhaps tw is expressing an aspect of his own homosexuality--but what i find perceptive is that he can tip his hat to other expressions of human sexuality here by Deborah Kerr's life of chastity--and to be human is to be perplexed by our sexuality as long as it is expressed tenderly and non violently.

exelente pelicula

mine too :)

I SHALL NEVER BUY FEBREZE

Brilliance and genius. All around... Kerr, Burton, Williams and Huston. (And the REST!)
