A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Special Features: 75th Anniversary
“Stella! Stelllaaaa!” Hoping to start a new life in New Orleans after leaving small-town Mississippi, troubled Southern belle Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh) moves in with her sister, Stella (Kim Hunter), and Stella’s husband, Stanley (Marlon Brando). As her presence inflames the tensions already simmering in their volatile relationship, Blanche is tormented by her brutish brother-in-law. For the film version of Tennessee Williams’ play, director Elia Kazan retained his claustrophobic setting and three of the four principals from the award-winning Broadway smash, replacing Jessica Tandy in favor of Leigh from Laurence Olivier’s London production. The resulting film earned 12 Academy Award® nominations and four wins: Best Actress for Leigh, Best Supporting Actress for Kim Hunter, Best Supporting Actor for Karl Malden as Mitch, Stanley’s friend, and Best Art Direction.
