Review of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) by Marjorie Baumgarten for Austin Chronicle — 10 Mar 2003
Tennessee Williams’ study of a crumbling Southern patriarchy is riveting stuff. Although the word homosexuality is never uttered, this Hollywood reworking brings a certain understanding of the son’s latent “immaturity” and his wife’s childlessness.
Bolstered by extraordinary performances, this tale’s a summer sizzler.
