Raw passions in steamy adaptation of Tennessee Williams play
“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” is an adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play about greed, sexual frustration, lust and impotence shaking up a wealthy Southern family. Elizabeth Taylor plays Maggie, the wife of  neurotic Brick Pollitt (Paul Newman), who seems to be uncertain about his sexuality. Made in 1958 during the era of the Production Code, the film was pretty steamy. The performances still hold up, particularly those of Burl Ives as Big Daddy Pollit and Madeleine Sherwood as the always pregnant Mae Pollitt. Taylor does a fine job, too, but her constant nagging tends to be grating after a while. Newman nearly blends into the sets with an extremely low-key performance.<br /><br />Director Richard Brooks makes the location— a humid, suffocating Louisiana mansion — a major ingredient. Placing so many disagreeable people with their own clashing agendas together in a claustrophobic setting can’t help but generate dramatic fireworks.<br /><br />Though the acting, especially toward the end when tempers flare and private resentments are aired, is often overwrought, the film is an excellent showcase for Taylor in her prime. She would subsequently win an Oscar for “Butterfield 8,” a movie she detested; many believe it was compensation for not having received the award for her flamboyant performance in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.”<br /><br />Bonus extras on the Blu-ray release include commentary by biographer Donald Spoto, author of  “The Kindness of Strangers: The Life of Tennessee Williams,” making-of featurette, and theatrical trailer.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : "I'm not living with you," Maggie snaps at Brick. "We occupy the same cage, that's all." The raw emotions and crackling dialogue of Tennessee Williams' 1955 Pulitzer Prize play rumble like a thunderstorm in this film version, whose fiery performances and grown-up themes made it one of 1958's top box-office hits. Paul Newman earned his first Oscar nomination as troubled ex-sports-hero Brick. In a performance that marked a transition to richer adult roles, Elizabeth Taylor snagged her second nomination. Her Maggie the Cat is a vivid portrait of passionate loyalty. Nominated for six Academy Awards~ , including Best Picture, and also starring Burl Ives (repeating his Broadway triumph as mendacity-loathing Big Daddy), Judith Anderson and Jack Carson, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof sizzles..
