He’s willing to partner with Victoria, despite the fact that the beautiful brunette gets under his skin like no other woman. He might not be looking to settle down, but there’s no denying the scorching attraction between them. Still, the more time he spends with Victoria, the more he realizes that the one woman as skeptical about love as he is might be the only woman he could really fall for… Kolin, Philip C., ed. (1998).

While Billy is in the hearts of many, Vettriano has also painted sportsmen and royalty and even an actress.The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote that by extending the stage version to feature film length, "the story now sags sufficiently for one to question its credentials, and to realise that its attempt to illuminate the darker corners of the mind is actually nothing more than a slightly infantile fantasy of guilt and masochism." The review also criticized "the spineless box-office ending, which balances Catherine's recovery against a contrived, conventional retreat into madness on the part of Mrs. Venable."

Little did he know she’d turn out to be his new next door neighbor and that she’d have some very pointed opinions of him and his “cavalcade” of women coming and going through his door. He, of course, has a great (and truthful) explanation for everything she sees but it doesn’t put him in the best light and he’s got an uphill battle from the start getting Victoria to come around. As they work together more on his sister’s case he gets to see the real Victoria. She’s not just a hard core divorce attorney with no sense of humor. She’s a compassionate woman who’s fighting hard for people who are going through one of the toughest times in their life. She’s also someone who’s battling past demons which she tries to keep secret, but one crazy train ride with Ford brings it all out in the open. Fainting in the hot hero’s arm does that *grin*. Ultimately, both Ford and Victoria had preconceived beliefs about each other that turned out to be so far from who they really are, it was fun to see them act more and more like themselves the more they were around each other. Richard L. Coe of The Washington Post delivered a mixed review, calling the film "undeniably powerful" and Hepburn "utterly brilliant," but found that Elizabeth Taylor selected Suddenly, Last Summer as her first project after recently ending her contractual commitment to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. At the time, she was the biggest box office draw in Hollywood, and she used this power to insist that Montgomery Clift be hired for the film. [7] As a result of a May 1956 car crash near the home of Taylor and her then-husband Michael Wilding, Clift had become heavily dependent on drugs and alcohol. When he was unable to find a doctor willing to attest to his insurability, producer Sam Spiegel approved his casting and went ahead with filming anyway. [8]

Well eleven chapters in and I have the impression nothing meaningful has happened save for the heroine, Victoria Slade the divorce lawyer, moving next door to the hero, Ford Dixon the investigative reporter, and bringing her self-centred persona in the same condo.
