Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
Country: US
Technical: col 108m
Director: Richard Brooks
Cast: Paul Newman, Burl Ives, Elizabeth Taylor
Synopsis:
The family gathers at a southern plantation owner's birthday and during a stormy night a few home truths are voiced.
Review:
A stagey piece of material but one handled with class by the makers, who manage despite the bowdlerization to suggest Brick's true leanings. Ives towers over the film in acting terms, but Newman has some good snarling one-liners. 'Mendacity!'
