Synopsis
Fragile, fading southern belle Blanche DuBois arrives destitute at her pregnant sister's cramped New Orleans French Quarter apartment, immediately clashing with her crude, aggressively masculine Polish-American brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski in an escalating war of class, sexuality, and madness. Elia Kazan and Tennessee Williams' milestone that revolutionized screen acting with Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh.
