Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)

This was my favorite of Tennessee Williams' plays for a long time, and this is quite a good movie adaptation of it. By the end of the movie each character is distinctive, even the more minor ones, which is helped by both a good script and good actors. I wasn't sure about Elizabeth Taylor at first in this role, but she turned out to do a fairly good job... and Paul Newman is great as Brick. It's very much a movie version of a play, but it's very well done. 4 stars.
