Cat On a Hot Tin Roof

Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman give a tremendous amount of emotional heft, sexual heat and acting pyrotechnics to Tennessee Williams’ play about family strife, emotional turmoil and possible homosexuality. It doesn’t quite open up the play and allow for the film to show as deep psychological insight as A Streetcar Named Desire, still the best stage-to-screen adaptation, but it does a great j... read more

Since I’m a huge fan of Paul Newman, I was really eager to check this flick. I remember when I saw ‘A Streetcar named Desire’, I was quite blown away, and this movie is also a very successful adaptation of a play written by Tennessee Williams, even though, apparently, it wasn’t really faithful which was a disappointment for Paul Newman and Williams really disliked it (the biggest change th... read more

The film's script is heavy on dialogue. But because of the story's thematic depth, the issues are interesting and insightful, and the script never seems talky.

Can't We Be Dysfunctional Like A Normal Family? (50 movies items)" In a well-to-do family, Brick Politt, is an ex-athlete who drinks to forget why there's an "ex" before "athlete". However, at a family reunion, deep seated memories are jogged which explain why this movie is on this list... Pulitzer Prize winning family dysfunction, Tennessee Williams style. BTW, on a side note, if you're a young movie fan and wonder why Elizabeth Taylor is considered such an iconic Hollywood beauty in the world of golden age cinema, this is one of the films that will sho"
