-great familial drama
-well acted from the three leads (Burl Ives, Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman)
-wonderfully shot with great colors
-loved how it took place in one location
-Newman was exceptional and my faorite of his performances; great last scene when he poured out the truth about 'Big Daddy'
-Taylor was perfectly cast; sexy, vibrant and strong willed
-truthfully human and raw; Tennessee Williams wrote a wonderful play
-my favorte next to "Glass Menagerie"
