"Just one pillow on her bed... and just one desire in her heart."
- Director: Richard Brooks
- Genre: Drama, Classics,
- Studio: Avon Productions
- Duration: 125 Mins
|
Overview:
Tennessee Williams's overheated tale of familial strife in the Deep South comes alive in this atmospheric dramatisation - it's all steamy, fly-blown and shutters slammin'. Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman are at the peak of their star attraction. She overdoes the "Daddy Dawlin" routine - accents are not her strong suit - though Newman is splendid as the sullen but only upright member of a thoroughly dislikeable clan. The surprise plus is Burl Ives as the dying patriarch, Big Daddy. It's one of the sounder screen adaptations of the playwright's work, even if the play's references to Newman's character's homosexuality were watered down for the film.
