Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (film)

The films could not be better cast. Elizabeth Taylor is perfectly suited as the "cat" Maggie, a beautiful sex-pot in love with Brick, a former athlete. Brick's father, "Big Daddy" is rich, powerful, and dogmatic. His son Gooper attempts to win his favor and the family fortune via his wife Mae and their brood of brats meant to pacify Big Daddy. Brick, on the other hand, is not into commitment, marriage, and children with Maggie, despite her repeated efforts to the contrary. All of the characters in the film, despite their degree of success or psychological adjustment, appear as walking wounded. In other words, they are fragile, damaged, psyches, not quite whole and certainly not at peace. Maggie cannot live without the thought of marrying Brick. This
