Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), dir. Richard Brooks
Between 1956-1960 Elizabeth Taylor roles were chosen very carefully, each of its five roles in this period was a big acting challenge, and one could suspect that these films were made in order to win an Oscar . Giant ( link ) won the statuette in one of the most important category (for directing), and the next four films have delighted above all acting. Raintree a melodrama, played out in part during the Civil War, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is an intimate drama about the hypocrisy, Suddenly, Last Summer is worrying and disturbing psychological drama with the theme of homosexuality, and Butterfield 8 this movie boring and uninteresting, the weakest of them all - but it is precisely for this Taylor's last film to survive until the end of an Oscar. Since I do not like to write about movies that I did not like I decided to dedicate this note to the best of these films.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is an adaptation of Tennessee Williams, prepared by a master of adaptation, Richard Brooks (The Brothers Karamazov, among others - link ). The film is typical behavior for a literary drama of the principle of the three unities of time, place and action. For viewers interested in such an intimate film, you have to have the idea of \u200b\u200bplaying the present conflict and complicated relationships. But sometimes even brilliant ideas and masterful direction does not help when the actors do not know how to get involved or play too theatrical. Richard Brooks is not the first nor the last time you had any luck with the actors. All six actors is simply sensational.
Elizabeth Taylor in the best period of his career with great sensitivity and intelligence, without exaggerated expression, impersonated a "cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Brilliant Paul Newman in the role of an alcoholic who has a grudge against all that they are deceitful, dishonest and can not love, and he gives the impression that all the hate. All the time drinking, though he was convinced that alcohol will solve all problems. Burl Ives is excellent in the role of a patient with cancer of the Father, the news of an incurable disease breaks, but also causes changes his attitude toward his son. The actor was a folk singer (the famous song Lavender Blue ), But found himself well in the film - he got an Oscar in 1959 for his role in the western canyon White, but I'm sure that the role of Kotka ... was strongly influenced by granting him the statuette. However, Judith Anderson, Jack Carson and Madeleine Sherwood did a fine in the background, they shared the stage at the end of the film does not indicate that this was a topic in a Supporting Role - Father's argument for property is reliably metaphor played a heartless and hypocritical society, which counts only for some material benefits.
protagonists of this drama are behaving as if they were sitting on the edge roof and defending against unfair collapse trying different tricks. To be on the roof, "trying to push their own family members. It is also a film that does not exist a concept of 'lies' - people lie not only in order to deceive someone, some use lies in good faith.
Though the film is based on dialogue is definitely not boring, at all times is palpable tension between the protagonists and the viewer is curious about what the family bickering and nastiness can result. Colorful pictures tell the story of William Daniels equally disturbing and mysterious, as intelligent dialogue and a Tennessee Williams screenplay by Richard Brooks and James Poe. It should see this movie because of the cast, especially Paul Newman, who played here may be the best role of his career.
