Editorial Reviews
Marlon Brando reprised his role as Stanley Kowalski in Elia Kazan's magnificent screen version of Tennessee Williams's great American play A Streetcar Named Desire, re-creating on film the standard-setting performance that wowed Broadway audiences. As the virile, blue-collar brute Stanley, Brando's sensuality takes the breath away. And Vivian Leigh is heartbreaking in her Oscar-winning portrayal of Blanche Dubois, a ravaged Southern belle clinging to faded notions of Southern gentility until her brother-in-law shatters her delusions forever. Kim Hunter and Karl Malden, both of whom appeared in the stage version, also won Oscars for their superb supporting performances. Although filmed entirely on sets, no movie has ever captured the sultry, decaying atmosphere of New Orleans's French Quarter as potently as this classic (it also won the 1951 Oscar for Art Direction). Production codes at the time of the film's release required Kazan to cut some footage considered too openly sexual; these moments are restored in this definitive version.
