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)
