Maggie is desperate, believing her husband Brick to be secretly gay, a suspicion spurred by his lack of interest in her and his depression following a close male friend's suicide. Big Daddy and Big Mama, the family patriarch and matriarch, are misled by the others about the state of Big Daddy's declining health. All of the deceit culminates in a night of explosive confrontation. In one photograph, we see Maggie (Lange) desperately entreating Brick (Jones). 10 x 8 inches.
