Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
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

- Happy shopper!
I was happy with this purchase. It came as promised (new & packaged as such) and much sooner than I expected. It was a gift, so I have not actually viewed the product.

- What a Brilliant Movie
Many mediocre films have been made out of brilliant plays but, luckily, this is not one of them. Tennessee Williams' words resonate as powerfully today as they must have done in 1958, and Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman have never been better, as two utterly gorgeous creatures who're deeply wounded.

Rating:

- Awesome, Classic movie
"Cat on a hot Tin Roof" is a wonderful movie. It's truly a classic that launched Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman into the stars they became. Burl Ives is so awesome as "Big Daddy" and Elizabeth Taylor is "Maggie the Cat" for sure....I recommend this movie and give it a review of 5 stars.

- Physical Perfection : Hard to Beat this One
I have to say, I first saw this about 15 years ago, when I was around 16 years old. At the time, I remember thinking - how could a man and woman look as perfect? Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman are at their physical peak in this film, and I don't think either of them looked better in any film pre or post this movie.

Due to their overwhelming physical beauty, its hard to get involved in the story everytime a closeup of Liz's amazing eyes come on screen. Newman - what magnetism. You have to buy this to understand what I'm talking about. Watching these two here is like watching the true unravelling of what a 'screen god' is all about.

Now, so many years later, I caught this on television recently. Now, time may have dealt me a few cards, but I still have the eyes to see that Liz and Paul still remain to me the most perfect screen couple. Other reviews will tell you about the story or the DVD ... Read More
