A Streetcar Named Desire
I've never been a huge Tennessee Williams fan, however I enjoy Marlon Brando, and am in love with Vivien Leigh (no really, I would go gay for her). The film seemed a bit muddled, but from what I understand, it was simply the Broadway production put in front of cameras--with the notable substitution of Vivien who had done the West End production (even more interesting since the only Tony award the production was nominated for, and won, was Best Actress for Jessica Tandy in the role of Blanche DuBois). Overall a well made movie, but as I said, I've never been able to wrap my head around Williams (ironic since I want to see Cat on a Hot Tin Roof). It swept the acting Oscars (Best Leading and Supporting), with the exception of leading male, although Brando was nominated. It was Brando's second film ever.
