Chilling old movie

Never saw it when it came out, but remembered it being controversial back then, 1959.
So, came across it on youtube & watched..."Suddenly Last Summer"

What really chilled me was that it seemed to treat Lobotomy as a perfectly legit procedure.

A beautiful girl is committed to a mental institution after witnessing the violent death of her cousin. The Doctor uses a truth serum on her and confirms his suspicions that her "hallucinations" are indeed fact. The shock causes her wealthy aunt to relapse into unreality."

Actors
Elizabeth Taylor
Katharine Hepburn
Albert Dekker
Mercedes McCambridge
Montgomery Clift

Any others here remember this one?
