This is not the first time I encounter a question of whether âbearâ or âbareâ must be used. I think it is because of the similarity in pronuntiation. Though, âbareâ is an adjective meaning ânakedâ, as in âbarefootâ. To bear, on the other hand, is a verb meaning to tolerate, to have to accept.
By Michael J. Mazza HALL OF FAME on November 2, 2001. Format: Mass Market Paperback. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is another masterpiece by Tennessee Williams, who was truly one of the 20th century's greatest playwrights. This play was presented in New York in the 1950s, and in book form it is an excellent read.
The best thing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof has going for it is one truly remarkable acting performance. And that performance comes from neither Elizabeth Taylor nor Paul Newman. There's nothing wrong with the work turned in by Taylor and Newman, they are both perfectly fine in their roles.akes you wish they gave Oscars for ensemble acting. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is truly an actor's movie, and it is one of those rare films where every single actor is perfect. Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor are both brilliant as Brick and Maggie Pollitt, respectively.
