on a Hot Tin Roof
Genre: Drama
Starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Burl Ives
Director: Richard Brooks
Written: Tennessee Williams
Producer: Lawrence Weingarten
Synopsis: It is the story of a Southern family in crisis, focusing
on the turbulent relationship of a wife and husband, Maggie "The Cat"
and Brick Pollitt, and their interaction with Brick's family over the
course of one evening gathering at the family estate in Mississippi, ostensibly
to celebrate the birthday of patriarch and tycoon "Big Daddy" Pollitt.
Maggie, through wit and beauty, has escaped a childhood of desperate poverty
to marry into the wealthy Pollitt family, but finds herself suffering
in an unfulfilling marriage. Brick, an aging football hero, has neglected
his wife and further infuriates her by ignoring his brother's attempts
to gain control of the family fortune. Brick's indifference and his near-continuous
drinking date back to the recent suicide of his friend Skipper. Big Daddy
is unaware that he has cancer and will not live to see another birthday;
his doctors and his family have conspired to keep this information from
him and his wife. His relatives are in attendance and attempt to present
themselves in the best possible light, hoping to receive the definitive
share of Big Daddy's enormous wealth.
