Director: Elia Kazan • Scenario: Tennessee Williams, Oscar Saul • Camera: Harry Stradling • Cast: Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter, Karl Malden

An adaptation of a classic play by Tennessee Williams tells the story of a woman who is in the process of losing everything, particularly her mental health. Blanche seeks temporary refuge with her sister Stella and her husband Stanley, but the initial conflict with Stanley escalates while Blanche slumps deeper and deeper in her issues. The role of Stanley Kowalski was the first big role for Marlon Brando who introduced the so-called method acting to the big screen. Compared to Vivien Leigh, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden who unlike him won Academy Awards for their performances, Brando is much more subtle in experiencing emotions while retaining a strong physical presence. He became the first star of the Actors Studio and a role model for future generations of actors. Along with Elia Kazan, Lee Strasberg and others, he launched a revolution in film acting.
