Editorial Review:
Elizabeth Taylor has never been sexier than as Tennessee Williams's hot-blooded Maggie "The Cat" Pollitt, prowling around her boudoir in a slinky white slip. That's how you know her alcoholic, ex-football-player husband, Brick (Paul Newman), must have more than just his leg in a cast. It's the 65th birthday of wealthy (but dying) southern patriarch Big Daddy (Burl Ives), and his sons Gooper (Jack Carter) and Brick have come to suck up to him for $10 million in inheritance money. Gooper is a family man and father to a brood of "no-neck monsters"; youngest boy Brick is papa's favorite (as if you couldn't tell from the fellow's names), but hasn't sired progeny. Maggie is definitely in heat, but Brick refuses to sleep with her because he suspects her her of being unfaithful with his best friend, who recent committed suicide. Although toned down for the movies, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is vintage Tennessee Williams. The film was directed by Richard Brooks (In Cold Blood, Blackboard Jungle, Elmer Gantry). --Jim Emerson
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof [Region 2] Reviews:
CAT ON A HOT TN ROOF 
2009-10-17 - I really enjoy the acting of these people. It is really interesting that Elizabeth Taylor did this movie right after losing ner husband. Each part played was worthy of a close look. Great movie.

Hot days and nights! 
2009-08-29 - Spent the week in Oregon with the temperature near 100 and thought of this movie. Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, what could be better. Ordered the movie and it came in a few days!
Emotions and Morality 
2009-07-13 - A little slow getting started and pretty absurd to see the Paul Newman character continuously pouring drinks without end. On the other hand, it was a pleasure to revisit Elizabeth Taylor; Jack Carson and Burl Ives were also surprisingly good. As it turns out, this film is crammed with emotions and issues of morality that make for a pleasurable and meaningful viewing experience
A Must See, Again, Classic 
2009-06-12 - "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof", was based on a Tennessee Williams play, starring Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, and Burl Ives as 'Big Daddy'. An excellent character-study of a southern family whose patriarc is about to die.

A study in human nature 
2009-03-14 - An older movie on DVD but a good one with solid performances by all principle actors. Typical Tennessee Williams study in human nature. The DVD arrived in a timely manner and in the condition stated by the seller. I would purchase from this seller again.
