Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a story that people like to remake, but I don't really know why. In my opinion, it's not Tennessee Williams' masterpiece, and the supporting characters can get on the audience's nerves pretty quickly. The only reason I can imagine why everyone wants to take a crack at it is because the original is so beloved, other actors say to themselves, "I want to be Elizabeth Taylor!" or "I want to be Paul Newman!" If you've never seen a Tennessee Williams story, here's the skinny: It's set in the South, a key plot point is a sexual problem, there's an "old world" family drama, a hint of male homosexuality, and it's usually all during a very hot summer. Also, the movies are based off of plays, so there will be lots of monologues. I'm not dissing Tennessee Williams; I actually love many of his plays. I just wanted to let you know what to expect.
In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, a childless married couple is on the brink of divorce. They bicker and argue, all through the wife's family's visit. If you've heard of the characters Maggie the Cat or Big Daddy, they originate from this story. Obviously, with two beautiful people in the lead roles, this movie is enjoyable to watch, and the tension between them sparks off the screen. It might not end up being your favorite old movie, but it's worth a viewing.
