Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ★★★½ 1958
Tennessee Williams' powerful play about greed and deception in a patriarchal Southern family. Big Daddy (Ives) is dying. Members of the family greedily attempt to capture his inheritance, tearing the family apart. Taylor is a sensual wonder as Maggie the Cat, though the more controversial elements of the play were toned down for the film version. Intense, believable performances from Ives and Newman. 108m/C VHS, DVD . Paul Newman, Burl Ives, Elizabeth Taylor, Jack Carson, Judith Anderson; D: Richard Brooks; W: Richard Brooks, James Poe; C: William H. Daniels
