Part of our We Can Do It! Pioneering Women of Hollywood's Golden Age series
Includes an introduction from the U-M Center for the Education of Women+
After Brick Pollitt (

Elizabeth Taylor
), visit his family's Mississippi plantation for the 65th birthday of his hot-tempered father, Big Daddy (
Burl Ives
). Cantankerous even with declining health, Big Daddy demands to know why Brick and Maggie haven't yet given him a grandchild, unlike Brick's brother Gooper (
Jack Carson
) and his fecund wife, Mae (
Madeleine Sherwood
). From writer/director
Richard Brooks
