A Streetcar Named Desire | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Elia Kazan's claustrophobic close-ups do a fine job of recreating the intensity of the stage.

Even taking this performance alone, Brando's work deserves to be known as an abiding cinematic performance. Amongst cowardly and callous acts, there still rests a level of pathos to the character.

Vivien Leigh's virtuoso portrayal was the year's finest acting...in the same picture Marlon Brando gives a brilliant and appalling performance as a primeval brute.

Some movie goers will be bored by its unlovely subject and wealth of talk, but others will admire it as an excursion into art.

Also screened was A Streetcar Named Desire, revamped with the four additional minutes that were excised years ago by censors. It was being paraded about as if a half-hour had been added. So now Stella walks down the steps sultrily.
