Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Deluxe Edition)

"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 OscarO nomination* as troubled ex-sports hero Brick. In a performance that marked a transition to richer adult roles, Elizabeth Taylor snagged her second. Her Maggie the Cat is a vivid portrait of passionate loyalty. Nominated for six Academy AwardsO 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.

DVD Features:
Audio Commentary:Commentary by Biographer Donald Spoto, Author of The Kindness of Strangers: The Life of Tennessee Williams

taut, intense drama with unforgettable performances

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof showcases the magnificent talents of Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor; and look for Burl Ives to do a stunning performance as well. The plot moves along at a good pace and the cinematography is excellent. This is a movie with guts to it and it should be mandatory viewing for...

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

I ordered this shortly after Paul Newman's death. He was so georgous as was Elizabeth Taylor. This is a great Southern story with characters you wouldn't believe could exist unless you're from the South. I know some of these people!

Always a treat!

Anyone who has no desire to watch two of America's finest actors at the height of their physical beauty is nothing more than a 'no neck monster.'

This roof is mighty hot...

Reviewing `The Hustler' brought to mind the fact that I have as of yet to review `Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' and so I decided to go ahead and get this ball rolling. As I mentioned with `The Hustler', what impresses me most about the actor that was Paul Newman was his ability to compliment and...

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

Paul and Elizabeth at their best, Burl Ives too. The winey sister-in-law needs to be taken out and shot! Excellent movie, I've watched it, this copy and others at least a dozen times. They don't make movies like this any more. Thank God, "they" did when they made this and others of this type....

Great googly moogly

Movies used to relay on scripts and acting and production rather than computer simulations to be good. This is just such a movie. It takes one back to a time when the players were the stars. And besides that...it's worth the price just to see Liz change her stockings. That's where the "great...

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof

This is a classic, worth keeping and watching again and again. I saw it first as a college student in the 1960s. In those days I was impressed by Liz Taylor, the cat, beautiful, and vicious. She made the college boys tremble with an awesome respect. Nevertheless, it was Paul Newman's...
