LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 1958 Academy Award-nominated drama, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” screens at the Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeport on Tuesday, July 14, with show times at 1 and 6 p.m.

The story about a dying Southern millionaire and his money grubbing family is adapted from Tennessee Williams’ stage triumph, but the performances are the thing in this film, with Burl Ives repeating his stage role like a force of nature. Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman are at the height of their Hollywood heartthrob careers. 

The movie is sponsored by Savings Bank of Mendocino County.

Entry to the film is by donation.

The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, 707-263-0577, www.soperreesetheatre.com .
