If you want drama, Tennessee Williams ladles it on thick in 1958’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The movie version of Williams’ steamy Southern Pulitzer Prize-winning play stars Elizabeth Taylor in a slip and Paul Newman with a crutch and a drink. Taylor and Newman are great, but Burl Ives steals the movie as Big Daddy. Madeleine Sherwood is outstanding as the weaselly daughter-in-law Ida.

Always loved this movie and all the southern drama…Big Daddy is my favorite
