Review of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) by Chris M — 07 Feb 2010
MARLON BRANDO'S BREAKTHROUGH ROLE AS STANLY KOWALSKI WHO BECOME SUSPICIOUS OF HIS SISTER IN LAW WHEN SHE COMES TO STAY.
VIVIAN LEIGHS PERFORMANCE IS GREAT BUT BRANDO STEALS THE SHOW IN THIS MOVIE ADAPTED FROM THE STAGE PERFORMANCE FROM THE LATE 1940'S.
TAKEN FROM TENNESSEE WILLIAMS SCRIPT AND DIRECTED BY ELIA KAZAN.
IF BRANDO'S FIRST FILM THE MEN PUT HIM ON THE MAP THEN A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE SENT HIM IN TO ORBIT WITH A GREAT PERFORMANCE.
