Film Description:
If the young Marlon Brando is pure cinema, then Vivien Leigh is frankly pure theatre, in Elia Kazan's stolid 1951 movie version of the Tennessee Williams play. Leigh's plays the delusional, manipulative, parasitic Blanche DuBois, the faded southern beauty who, having fallen on hard times, comes to live with her sister Stella (Kim Hunter) and her brutally sexy, working-class husband Stanley Kowalski (Brando) in the roughest part of New Orleans. She and Kowalski instantly spark a toxic rapport, conceiving a resentful fascination for each other, in which fear and desire play their parts.—The Guardian
“Vivien Leigh gives one of those rare performances that can truly be said to evoke pity and terror.” --Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
“It's a close-to-definitive example of how to make a great play work on film”—Daily Telegraph (UK)
