Tangled in webs of deceit woven for personal safety and personal gain, the characters of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof struggle to come to terms with the truth throughout the play. The 1958 film added another layer to the obfuscation of truth at the heart of the play by removing references Brick's homosexual desires in response to the Hays Code.
