"An alcoholic retired football player and his wealthy cold hearted father are brought together on the day of the latter’s birthday in a chaotic atmosphere of family greed and hatred. Layers upon layers of compelling family drama with some perfectly drawn up characters, which come from the original play script by Tennessee Williams. There are some great performances by the cast of big names, with Taylor and Newman sharing some memorable on-screen sexual tension."
