About this movie

Lonely and fragile Southern belle Blanche DuBois (Leigh), desperate to maintain her fraying sanity, suffers her brutish brother-in-law's (Brando) relentless, badgering attempts to make her face reality--which eventually lead her to madness.

Ratings and reviews

So depressing. Marlon Brandon acted pretty well but Vivien Leigh did such a good job, I believe she wasn't even acting. Stella is a good sister and Eunice was also nice. I can understand why Mitch got angry because he had genuine feelings towards Blanche, but those words he said were unacceptable, still he shed tears for her in end. Blanche is one of the most tragic characters in cinematic history.

Great film read the play then watched the film! Stanley is a great actor

A great movie, one of my favorites (one among many)...
