What Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Is About
Richard Brooks's 1958 film follows a family gathered for the father's birthday. One of the sons is drinking and will not speak to his wife. The question of the inheritance comes to the table. The film spends almost all of itself in one house; the narrative makes what goes unsaid its real subject. It is adapted from Tennessee Williams's play. Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman lead. The censorship of the period removed the play's gay line, and the author criticised that. Who it's for: those who like classic family drama. Who it's not for: viewers expecting the whole play; the film cuts a line central to the text.
