Although the 1958 film version was toned down and suppressed or took out some of what makes 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' so bold and ahead of its time in themes and characterisation, for from my understanding censorship reasons. Not only is the dialogue amazing, but have always found myself fascinated and riveted by the characters, their relationships and how they interact with each other, which is one of the primary reasons as to why Williams was such a great writer. Consider 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' his masterpiece, though there may be some slight bias as it was the play of his that introduced me to him when studying it at school. Have said before that Tennessee Williams is one of the all-time great playwrights.
