What I want to know is, have you got the guts to live?''\|'''Big Daddy'''}} A 1955 play that won [[Tennessee Williams]] his second Pulitzer Prize, ''[[Cat on a Hot Tin Roof]]'' has endured thanks to numerous productions ever since. One of its best known versions was a 1958 film adaptation, staring [[Paul Newman]], [[Elizabeth Taylor]] and [[Burl Ives]]. The story concerns the Pollitt family, and all the ugly family issues that rear its ugly head as they reunite for its patriarch, Big Daddy's birthday. Big Daddy, unaware that he's dying, tries desperately to connect to his angry, alcoholic favored son, Brick, who is married to Maggie. Meanwhile, the other family members try desperately to suck up to Big Daddy to get some of his fortune. Of course, tensions between father and son have to be resolved some time...
