Review of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) by Alice S — 22 May 2010
Another classic that I'm meh about, and I think it's mainly because of Vivien Leigh's portrayal. The only moment that reveals her true insanity is a scene towards the end during which she actually uses her lower register.
Instead of marking Blanche's pivotal change throughout, Leigh suddenly switches from her initial frothy voice, and it rings of an actor being inconsistent.
