✨🥀 e m m éAug 21, 2019the phrase “big daddy” is said 83 times in this movie so you’d think big daddy himself would steal the show, but no!! the star of this show is paul newman’s beautiful ice blue eyes!! big daddy could never compete!!

aliceAug 22, 2014I am a huge Tennessee Williams fan, so I went into Cat on a Hot Tin Roof expecting to like it. Imagine my disappointment at finding that this filmed version of one of Williams' most famous plays was gutted like a fish by the Hays Code. What's left is a good looking,…

At first I didn't think I was going to like this, but the dialogue was really good and intense. You don't know how to feel about these characters, and then by the end, it turns it around and hits you in the feels. The performances for Brick, Maggie & Big Daddy were incredible.
KAYLIMANIZ likedCat on a Hot Tin Roof9/10 Not what I expected. It was so intriguing and entertaining. I’ll be looking forward to watching it again especially because of Paul Newmans performance.

Burl Ives, Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, Judith Anderson, Jack Carson and two or three more almost work and yell themselves to pieces making this drama of strife within a new-rich Southern family a ferocious and fascinating show. And what a pack of trashy people these accomplished actors perform!
