Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

If you want to see two of the most beautiful human beings ever created acting their socks off then look no further than Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman are fabulous darling.

The commonplace thing to say of adaptations such as this is that they betray their stage heritage. I'll accept that as a valid comment but it should not hide that this is good stuff. Tennessee Williams writes claustrophobically of course - you can almost feel the heat of the Deep South steaming in the protagonists' mouths. Definitely worth a look. 7.5/10.
