Plot hole: How Brick is still standing (all be it on one leg!) during what appears to be a 12 hour period, after consuming the best part of two bottles of bourbon, coming through a personal crisis and self awareness, followed by instant maturation, then ending the night between the sheets with his wife is truly amazing in the least.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Richard Brooks
Starring: Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, Burl Ives, Jack Carson
Genres: Drama
Continuity mistake: When Maggie arrives at the house, one of Sister Woman's kids throws icecream at her legs. She scrapes it off and smears it into the girl's face, but that amount is about three times as much as she scraped from her leg. (00:04:40)
Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: Where did I fail you? Where did I make my mistake?
Trivia: Brick's (Paul Newman) latent homosexuality seems to be purposely avoided in the movie's screenplay, as opposed to the original Williams play. Probably so as not to offend sensitive 50's audiences. Modern audiences will more than likely pick up the signs and wonder '...is he?'.
