Quotes from
Flora 'Sissy' Goforth:
What's human or inhuman is not for human decision.
Flora 'Sissy' Goforth: Did somebody tell you I was dying this summer? Did somebody tip you off that Sissy Goforth was about to go forth this summer?
Chris Flanders: Yes. That's why I came.
Flora 'Sissy' Goforth: Well, well. I've escorted six husbands to the eternal threshold and come back alone without them. Now it's my turn. I've no choice but to do it, but I want to do it alone. I don't want to be escorted. I want to go forth alone. And you... you counted on touching my heart because you knew I was dying. Well, you miscalculated with this one. The milk train doesn't stop here anymore.
Chris Flanders: In Xanadu did Kubla Khan, a stately pleasure-dome decree. Where Alph, the sacred river, ran through caverns measureless to man down to a sunless sea.
Flora 'Sissy' Goforth: WhaaAAAT?

Facts about
Tennessee Williams stated that it was the best film version of any of his plays that was ever produced. The rest of the world seemed not to agree, for the monumentally expensive production bombed at the box office.
James Bernard was considered to write the film score.
Despite the twin Broadway failures of the play "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore," it was thought that Elizabeth Taylor and Tennessee Williams were an irresistible combination, after the sucess of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Suddenly, Last Summer, both of which won Taylor Oscar nominations as Best Actress. It was a fatal miscalculation on the part of the producer.
