Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)

dir: Richard Brooks

Late one night, a drunken Brick Pollitt (Paul Newman) is out trying to recapture his glory days of high school sports by leaping hurdles on a track field, dreaming about his moments as a youthful athlete. Unexpectedly, he falls, leaving him dependent on a crutch. Brick, along with his wife, Maggie "the Cat" (Elizabeth Taylor), are seen the next day visiting his family in Mississippi, waiting to celebrate Big Daddy's (Burl Ives) 65th birthday. (Wikipedia)

Smoldering performances from Newman and Tayloy enliven this somewhat stilted translation of Tenesse William's play. The loose facts of the world are unimportant, but the uneven character motivation is distracting, and for a play that spends so much time reflecting on the horror of mendacity some of its revalations are downright banal.

Liz Taylor's body is the real star of the show. At one point they make her take five minutes to change a stocking so all us guys can get a good look. Plus no way do I believe that Newman, Taylor, and all those ugly people are all in the same family
