Another almost-obsolete format, DVDs – like CDs – are cheaper than ever in charity shops. One pound or 50p for two hours of entertainment represents amazing value for money. Here are my brief reviews of some of the films I saw...
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman are both superb in this adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play. As you’d expect, there’s real dynamism in the script and these exceptional lead actors make the most of it.
Burl Ives plays “Big Daddy”, the father who never showed Brick enough love.
It’s moving and ultimately uplifting, with a strong thread of comedy and satire running through it as the various family relationships are examined and explored.
