Cultures clash when the flirtatious Southern-belle Blanche DuBoisand (Vivien Leigh) moves in with her sister’s family in New Orleans. Her presence upsets the already awkward balance between her sister Stella (Kim Hunter) and her husband Stanley Kowalski (Marlon Brando), a primal, brutish and sensual force of nature, setting the stage for a devastating confrontation.  Adapted by Elia Kazan from the famed Tennessee Williams play, A Streetcar Named Desire was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, winning 4. (1951, 125 mins)
