THE SOURCE VIDEO IS 20 YEARS OLD THERE IS SOME IMAGE DEGRADATION

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a play by Tennessee Williams. One of Williams's best-known works, the play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1955, and has been frequently revived.


Jessica Lange ... Maggie
Tommy Lee Jones ... Brick Pollitt
David Dukes ... Gooper
Penny Fuller ... Mae
Neta Lee Noy ... No Neck Monster
Kim Stanley ... Big Mama
Rip Torn ... Big Daddy


The theme of the play is mendacity, a word Brick uses to describe his disgust with the world. Moreover, it revolves around the lies in the aging and decaying Southern society. With the exception of Brick, the entire family lies to Big Daddy and Big Mama, as does the doctor. Big Daddy lies to his wife.

The play alludes to the presence of homosexuality in Southern society and examines the complicated rules of social conduct in this culture. Tennessee Williams himself was unclear about the nature of Brick's feelings for his friend Skipper while developing different versions of the play.

The big-screen version of the play was made in 1958 by MGM, and starred Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Judith Anderson, and Jack Carson, with Burl Ives and Madeleine Sherwood reprising their stage roles. The Hays Code limited how clearly the film could portray Brick's past sexual desire for Skipper, and thus diminished the original play's critique of homophobia and sexism. An American television version was produced in 1985, starring Jessica Lange, Tommy Lee Jones, Rip Torn, Kim Stanley, David Dukes , and Penny Fuller. This version brought back all the sexual innuendoes that the 1958 film had muted. Both Stanley and Fuller were nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Special, and Stanley went on to win. It was a reunion of sorts for Stanley and Lange, who received Oscar nominations for playing mother and daughter in 1982's Frances.. This production is considered by Williams scholars and fans alike to be the finest version of the piece to be put on screen.
