The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Final Jeopardy Explanation

The 1955 play review that highlighted “restless delta folk” and described their lives as “uncomfortable & insecure as the proverbial cat on a hot tin roof” comes from the New York Times. Dated March 25, 1955, this review was penned by Brooks Atkinson, who provided insights into Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” Atkinson’s review captures the essence of Williams’ narrative, set against the backdrop of a Mississippi Delta plantation, and delves into the intricate web of family dynamics, secrets, and existential angst that define the play. Through his critique, Atkinson sheds light on the poignant character portrayals, the underlying themes of truth versus falsehood, and the emotional intensity that are hallmarks of Williams’ work, making “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” a compelling study of human relationships and vulnerabilities.
