Product Description

Product Description

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: Deluxe Edition (DVD)

"I'm not living with you," Maggie snaps at Brick. "We occupy the same cage, that's all." The raw emotions and crackling dialogue of Tennessee Williams' 1955 Pulitzer Prize play rumble like a thunderstorm in this film version whose fiery performances and grown-up themes made it one of 1958's top box-office hits. Paul Newman earned his first OscarO nomination* as troubled ex-sports hero Brick. In a performance that marked a transition to richer adult roles, Elizabeth Taylor snagged her second. Her Maggie the Cat is a vivid portrait of passionate loyalty. Nominated for six Academy AwardsO including Best Picture* and also starring Burl Ives (repeating his Broadway triumph as mendacity-loathing Big Daddy), Judith Anderson and Jack Carson, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof sizzles.

]]>

Set Contains:

The main extra here is a commentary recorded by the veteran biographer Donald Spoto, who brings a breezy and amusing narrative style to a discussion of the behind-the-scenes production issues as well as the play's themes of mendacity and secrecy, with a nod to Cat's place in Tennessee Williams' oeuvre. In particular, good detail is given on how the play's veiled homosexual anxieties were adapted into different form for the movie. A rather trivial ten-minute short doc, Playing Cat and Mouse, concentrates on what the film meant to the careers of Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, with the emphasis on Taylor's personal tragedy during shooting: her husband Mike Todd was killed in an airplane crash a week into filming. The film's original trailer is also included. --Robert Horton

5.0 out of 5 stars A hallmark of Hollywood moviemaking in the fifties
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2011

That's a bit of a left-handed compliment. This movie, a hugely popular adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play, has lots going for it - a star-making role for Paul Newman and a memorable turn for Elizabeth Taylor as well as Burl Ives repeating his stage role as Big Daddy. Yet it falls short of being the Williams classic as presented on the stage.

Now, put that fact -- it's not the play -- out of your mind and sit back and enjoy a wonderful cast spin a great story. If they censors had had their way, it would have been put off for filming for at least a decade more. The play was just too adult for the 1950s, when the movies were still being made for audiences of all ages and all sensibilities.

That was the problem facing writer-director Richard Brooks: how to film a story with a gay theme without the gay theme. As explained in the new book "Tough as Nails: The Life and Films of Richard Brooks" (available from amazon.com), the Production Code censors at the time forbid "sexual perversion" (that meant gay) in American movies. Indeed, just why isn't Brick sleeping with Maggie the Cat?

Well, Brooks rewrote that aspect of the play. He made it a father-son issue rather than one of sexual identity. Sure, lots of people knew what was really going on when they went to the movie - the play had been a sensation - and they accepted the movie version for what it was: a typically watered-down Hollywood treatment of adult subject matter.

Tennessee Williams didn't like that and he didn't like Taylor, whom he thought was no actress. But Williams did like getting $500,000 for the movie rights and a share of the box office from one of the biggest hits in Hollywood history at that time.

Burl Ives won the Oscar for supporting actor that year - not for Big Daddy but for playing a similarly larger-than-life father figure in the William Wyler western "The Big Country." A frosty Friday, indeed.

This is one of my favorite movies of all times. Elizabeth Taylor does a fantastic job playing the role of Maggie "the cat" Pollitt, a married woman who is doing her best to salvage her marriage that's on the rocks. Brick (Paul Newman) is Maggie's alcoholic, depressed, former football star husband, who is doing his best to bottle up all his feelings after the suicide of his best friend - which he suspects his wife had a part in.

Big Daddy (Burl Ives) is Brick's no-nonsense, richer than dirt, demanding father who adores his daughter-in-law, Maggie. He "puts up with" - and often shuns - his wife, Big Momma (Judith Anderson) their oldest son, Gooper (Jack Carson), Gooper's snotty wife, Mae (Madeleine Sherwood) and their herd of bratty, spoiled and undisciplined kids.

The whole family has gathered together at Big Daddy's house to celebrate his birthday, and everyone there has a side agenda.
Maggie: to win back her husband, protect him from the judgement of others, prove her innocence, and keep their marital problems a secret.
Brick: to drink enough to escape reality and avoid facing his problems.
Big Daddy: to try to "fix" his son, avoid the rest of his family, and enjoy life to the fullest after getting the all-clear from his doctor on a cancer diagnosis.
Big Momma: (similar to Maggie) she wants to deny the problems in her marriage, keep the peace with everyone, and win the approval of her husband.
Gooper: to win over his father in an attempt to take over the family business.
Mae: to constantly berate Maggie for not bearing any children with her husband, and (like Gooper) win over her in-laws for a piece of the pie.

This movie is a classic with amazing actors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sizzling
Reviewed in Canada on January 6, 2024

Elizabeth Taylor seems to be uniquely qualified to act in Tennessee Williams material - 2 of her very best performances were in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof and Suddenly Last Summer. And along with Paul Newman they sizzle on screen.
The story is about survivors guilt, family power struggles and sheer mendacity. Liz and Paul are struggling to know what to do about their fractured marriage as Big Daddy (Burl Ives) and Big Momma (Judith Anderson) come to a new realization of their own tattered marriage. With Madeline Sherwood and Jack Carson adding terrific support. A southern family in crisis. Never dull.
Elizabeth Taylor was then married to Michael Todd who tragically died in his own plane one week into filming. It makes Elizabeth Taylor's performance all the more searing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chef d'oeuvre du cinéma américain des années 50, d'après la pièce de Tennessee Williams. Réalisation de Richard Brooks.
Reviewed in France on July 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
Film américain en couleur de chez MGM réalisé par Richard Brooks ( La chatte sur un toit brûlant / Cat on a hot tin roof - 1957 ) est développé à partir d'une solide base : La pièce de théâtre écrite par Tennessee Williams ( Un tramway nommé Désir (1947), Baby Doll (1956), Soudain l'été dernier (1958), La Nuit de l'iguane (1964), ...), mise en scène par le grand Elia Kazan.

L'histoire du film ( unité de lieu, unité de temps, unité d'action ) est simple : Le patriarche " Big Daddy " self made man richissime ( excellent Burl Ives ) d'une famille du sud des US va mourir et les vautours arrivent pour dépecer la proie encore chaude et vivante. Une histoire d'héritage qui va déchirer une famille et faire sauter tout le vernis social des faux bons sentiments. Il faut avoir vécu de telles circonstances pour comprendre que ce film n'est pas une caricature... Big Daddy a deux fils mariés. Cooper ( Jack Carson ), avocat qui a fait tout ce que papa lui a dit de faire, père d'une nombreuse marmaille et Brick, ancien joueur et champion du monde de football américain, le fils préféré ( Paul Newman âgé de 32 ans ) marié à Maggie ( Elizabeth Taylor âgée de 25 ans ) qui entretient des relations tumultueuses avec son père et est devenu alcoolique suite au suicide de son meilleur ami qu'il attribue à son épouse Maggie et n'a pas d'enfants car il refuse les relations sexuelles avec sa somptueuse épouse Maggie à la suite de ce suicide.

Il est à noter que la version théâtrale insiste sur une relation homosexuelle supposée entre Brick et son meilleur ami, aspect n'apparaissant qu'en léger filigrane dans le film car la censure Hollywoodienne veille.

Bientôt Maggie " La chatte " ne va pas se laisser faire et va sortir ses atours et ses griffes pour tenter de sauver son couple ainsi que la spoliation financière qui guette. Brick et son père " Big Daddy " s'aiment profondément en secret mais n'arrivent pas à se le dire et vivent dans une incompréhension totale l'un envers l'autre. Je vous laisse découvrir la suite du film...

Superbe film avec une Elizabeth Taylor au sommet de sa beauté et de son art ainsi qu'un magnifique Paul Newman composant de manière rare un rôle de perdant alcoolique. Les dialogues sont d'une finesse et d'une précision exceptionnelles. Film réalisé dans une veine classique racontant une histoire vieille comme le monde. A voir / posséder absolument.

Hochkarätig besetzt mit u.a. Paul Newman und Elisabeth Taylor zeigt der Film (nach einem Bühnenstück von Tennessee Williams von 1955, Pulitzer Preis ausgezeichnet) Doppelmoral, Scheinheiligkeiten und Verlogenheit in einer menschlichen Gemeinschaft (hier Familie) auf.
Neben dem Ausbruch von alten Konflikten und aktuellen Erbstreitigkeiten (der Vater und Patriarch der Familie, Big Daddy, ist sterbenskrank, gespielt von Burl Ives) steht auch die Beziehungskrise und ihre Überwindung am Ende von Maggie (E. Taylor) und Brick (P. Newman) im Handlungsfokus. Skandalös auch für diese Zeit die Anspielungen auf die homosexuellen Neigungen Bricks zu dessen verstorbenen Freund.
Knisternde Erotik, Mechanismen menschlicher Beziehungsgeflechte, schwelende und dann ausbrechende Konflikte, Alkoholismus bestimmen die spannende, teilweise kammerspielartige Handlung.
Tennessee Williams sagt dazu:
"Der Vogel, den ich im Netz dieses
Stückes fangen möchte, ist nicht die
Lösung eines psychologischen Problems
eines Einzelnen. Ich möchte den
Wahrheitsgehalt von Erlebnissen
innerhalb einer Gruppe von Menschen
darstellen, jenes flackernde, umwölkte,
schwer zu fassende - aber fieberhaft
mit Spannung geladene! - Zusammenspiel
lebendiger Wesen in der Gewitterwolke
einer gemeinsamen Krise." und
"Das Leben ist kannibalisch. Das
eine Ich frisst das andere Ich.
Immer ist jemand dabei, an einem
anderen zu nagen, aus Neid, aus
Profitgier, aus Angst. Wissen Sie,
die Vorstellung, in einem Zimmer
zu schlafen, wo nicht irgendwo eine
Flasche steht, finde ich ziemlich
schrecklich. Es könnte ja immerhin
sein, dass ich nachts aufwache und
einen Schluck brauche."
Genial!!!
