Great. Very much a case of filmed theater, but I happen to like that sort of thing. Taylor and Newman are good. Burl Ives completely outshines them, though.

...Paul Newman remains as fresh as ever in his performance as the damaged football hero Brick, unable to return his wife's advances, so wrapped up is he in his own problems.
