Review of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) by Doctor S — 14 Jul 2010
Welcome and enjoy your evening spent with the Southern Asshole Family! Potent family drama on Mississippi plantation when multiple deep-rooted, combustible secrets explode on the day of the patriarch's 65th birthday.
Brilliant source material of Tennessee Williams play comes alive with uniformly excellent performances including standouts Burl Ives as cantankerous Big Daddy and Elizabeth Taylor as the spurned wife of an alcoholic ex-jock (Paul Newman) afraid of losing their share of the inheritance.
She's no eyesore onscreen either! Special mention should go to their in-law brother & wife siring one of the most horrible broods of monsters ever in the movies.
