Paul Newman & Elizabeth Taylor, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, 1958

The family of “Big Daddy” Pollitt (Burl Ives) convenes at his and Big Momma’s (Dame Judith Anderson’s). Among the attendees is alcoholic son, Brick (Paul Newman); an ex-football player, who spends his time drinking and avoiding the ministries of his libidinous wife, Maggie (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) – “the cat”. As this gathering isn’t so much as a gathering but a farewell (Big Daddy is terminally ill) a lot of memories and revelations which had been hidden come to the surface of both father and son.
