Synopsis
A Streetcar Named Desire | 1951 | 12A | Dir. Elia Kazan | US | 122 mins | IMDb 7.9 | B&W
The iconic multi-Oscar winning version of Tennessee Williams classic Southern Gothic play about class, morality and of course desire. Directed by the great Oscar winning Eliza Kazan, renowned for his social realism, and adapted for screen by Williams himself, this classic piece of Americana follows the ageing beauty Blanche, now penniless and destitute, as she moves in with her working-class sister Stella and her brutish husband Stanley in a claustrophobic Jazz infused New Orleans. The iconic cast of Marlon Brando (The Godfather) , Viven Leigh (Gone With The Wind), Kim Hunter (Planet of The Apes) and Karl Malden (Patton) reprised their roles from the stage version, which they had practiced and performed for years, allowing for a realism and understanding of the characters that made this the definitive version of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ and Marlon Brando a Hollywood sensation overnight.
