Liz Taylor and Paul Newman star as a married couple in crisis in this 1957 film adaptation of what Tennessee Williams play?
Answer Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Newman plays Brick, a hard boozer clinging to his past glory as a high school football player. Taylor is Maggie, his unhappy wife. Also unhappy, as it happens, was Tennessee Williams, whose play included homosexual themes that the film omitted entirely. The playwright's ire was so great that he once exclaimed to a line of theatergoers, "This movie will set the industry back 50 years. Go home!"
