Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

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. ??HuggoAwards: 3 wins & 16 nominations totalBudget: $3,000,000 (estimated)Soundtrack: Lost in a Summer Night ((uncredited))Richard BrooksElizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Burl Ives1958-08-29 (United States)tt0051459
