Starring Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Burl Ives
Ex-football star Brick (Paul Newman) spends his days swilling bourbon and giving the cold shoulder to his wife, Maggie the Cat (Elizabeth Taylor). When the family gathers to celebrate dying patriarch Big Daddy’s birthday, secrets, memories, and revelations will be brought into the light. Adapted from Tennessee Williams’s Pulitzer-winning drama, this Southern Gothic classic tackled a host of touchy subjects for 1950s Hollywood.
The May 9 screening will be presented in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar, taught by Raymond Saraceni, Ph.D. On this date, seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
