Almost perfect. Newman and Ives are fabulous, it's only ended 'too happily'...

There are a few corny one-liners absent in the play, Brick's relationship with Skipper is completely rewritten, the ending is definitely too happy and things get a bit melodramatic but...it's still a good movie.

My favorite movie of all time. Brilliantly acted, written, and directed. Entertaining and moving, you will find yourself rooting for these imperfect characters, these beautiful, broken people trapped in an old, elegant world filled with liars and lies.

Not bad, but since the film refuses to let us see Brick as a closet case, and story loses most of its punch. Also--I don't think Burl Ives makes a good Big Daddy--not unrestrained, not messy enough. Ives is a fastidious man, and it show through.

The performances by Taylor and Newman are stunning, but the movie suffers from ignoring a crucial aspect of the book.

Both Taylor and Newman give top notch performances. There is some great dialogue and the actors keep things interesting for the entire movie.

Paul Newman's breakthrough and he IS gorgeous...but it is way too long and I've never seen anything as over-told! Brooks has adapted Williams' play without taking into account the difference between the two media and therefor it presents itself as 'filmed theater' - which is both boring and uninspiring.

Smoldering performances from Newman and Tayloy enliven this somewhat stilted translation of Tenesse William's play. The loose facts of the world are unimportant, but the uneven character motivation is distracting, and for a play that spends so much time reflecting on the horror of mendacity some of its revalations are downright banal.
