Film #146: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Surely, the recent passing of superstar Elizabeth Taylor is reason enough to check out Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Taylor’s sultry, skimpily-dressed Maggie The Cat is one of her most iconic performances, and is certainly the definitive filmed (or televised) portrayal of scribe Tennessee Williams’ cunning heroine. Still, the film version of Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning 1955 play could be better.
