Monty Clift gets some lip action from patient and potential lobotomy-ee Liz Taylor just prior to her deposition. His associate interrupts and just asks if they can get on with the sodium pentathol confession.
Dramatically absurd.
Uh, ok. Glad you were able to get that off your chest!
shareI thought it was a little weird too. I was expecting it to come up again.. but I guess the other dr. just thought she was acting insane? Haha, I don't know.
shareYeah, that was unintentionally funny. The asylum head acted like he hadn't seen anything strange--or it was perfectly normal for a doctor to be kissing his "nymphomaniacal" patient. :)
shareAS IF *ANY* man needed to apologize for *ANY* amorous contact with Liz Taylor in her twenties! HMOG! With that much sodium pentathol in her (and that VERY seductive and diaphenous blouse), *I* would've had her bent over the desk before that spent hypo hit the ashtray!... and I wasn't even BORN yet, so that's some pretty advanced lust, LOL! Her hourglass figure "gits mah motor RUNNIN'!"
Seriously, perhaps Dr. Hockstader was just being a dignified and discreet gentleman, who:
a) prided his jaded Southern persona on NOT being shocked by ANYTHING;
and
b) did NOT want to cause a scandal for his protege' (and star attractor of mega-donations);
and
c) planned on having a healthy helping of Liz/Cathy later on that evening, when she was back "in custody" at Lion's View. ;')
Agree - I thought that was strange that the doctor didn't react at all to seeing them making out and not calling Clift's character out on ethics or anything later even.
