"Mendacity! I smell mendacity!" Burl Ives gives an over the top performance in the overwrought Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. It's Tennessee Williams at his most outrageous but what's most memorable about this film is Elizabeth Taylor as Maggie the Cat. She's never looked better and yet Paul Newman rejects her for reasons that probably didn't make much sense back in the 50s but I think we get it now, thanks. Anyway, see Liz under the stars at Screen on the Green on Monday night.
