Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a 1984 film directed by Jack Hofsiss and produced by American Playhouse. The film starred Jessica Lange, Tommy Lee Jones, Rip Torn, Kim Stanley, David Dukes, and Penny Fuller.
Plot
This adaptation revived the sexual innuendos which had been muted in the 1958 film.
Awards and nominations
Both Stanley and Fuller were nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Special, and Stanley went on to win. It was a reunion of sorts for Stanley and Lange, who received Oscar nominations for playing mother and daughter in 1982's Frances.
