  • Made for TV dramas, only for the most serious movie buffs.

    Olivier is always interesting, and i enjoyed them, but some are a bit tepid. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is very interesting, First of all, they used the original Broadway story, which deals with homosexuality, rather than the Paul Newman version, where Brick's issue was changed to infidelity. I always knew hollywood did that, but it was the most interesting thing about the whole set The cast is uniformly weaker, except Natalie Wood, who revealed Maggie's vulnerability better than Liz did. I expected Robert Wager to be weak. He's a mediocre actor, while Newman's one of the greats. And Wagner was the weakest member of the cast. I love Burl Ives, and expected that Olivier would be weaker, but I was surprised how dull and ordinary Olivier made a character who Burl Ives made so robust.
