...Roof is the fifth of Tennessee Williams' works to be put on the screen, following The Glass Menagerie, The Rose Tattoo, A Streetcar Named Desire, Baby Doll.

Each show is preceded by a private warmup, ranging from gnawing anxiety to panic. During the hours of preparation-which must end in laughter or failure-Paar is probably doing his hardest work. At noon on a recent, typical pre-show day, Jack was prowling his barn-red twelve-room house in suburban Bronxville, N.Y. His breakfast...
