A Streetcar Named Desire

Director: Elia Kazan
Writers: Tennessee Williams (original play)
Cast: Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando, Karl Malden and Kim Hunter
Year: 1951
IMDB

My Rating: 9/10

The play by Tennessee Williams is really intriguing. You have a drama queen who constantly manipulates the truths, and you have a rough and masculine guy who wants nothing but the truth. Their clash is a classic play/movie called A Streetcar Named Desire. I should start reading Tennessee Williams.

Both leading actor and actress put on incredible performance, but I prefer Marlon Brando in this film, his extreme masculinity is quite fascinating to me, although his character is definitely not a good model to follow.
