Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)

Directed by Richard Brooks

Starring Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Burl Ives

Nandita, our in-house literature lover says, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof , based on Tennessee Williams’ play of the same name (in turn, inspired by Shakespeare’s’ Taming of the Shrew) transports you the languid heat of America’s deep South, and is replete with dysfunctional family drama and absolutely electric chemistry between the lead pair. And all- time favourite, I’ve watched this movie 7 times, and each time I discover something new. You won’t regret it. Oh. And it has Paul Newman. Need I say anything more?"
