A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire

Thursday, 5 March 2009 6:30pm
Venue: FACT

Director: Elia Kazan
Origin: United States
Year: 1951
Duration: 142
Starring: Kim Hunter, Marlon Brando, Vivien Leigh, Karl Malden

The classic film version of Tennessee William's groundbreaking play.

Vivien Leigh, Karl Malden and Kim Hunter were all awarded Oscars opposite Marlon Brando (nominated) in Elia Kazan’s hothouse adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play which he had originally directed on Broadway.

When the death of her husband reduces her circumstances, fading Southern belle Blanche Dubois is obliged to seek shelter with her sister’s in-laws in a tenement in New Orleans. Neurotic, wistful and desperately clinging to memories or fantasies of prosperity and refinement, her presence provokes uncontrollable tensions - especially with brutal, virile brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski.

Worth it if only to see a young, shirtless Brando on the big screen!

Come see us in the bar after the film to chat about what you would like to see at Outsiders.
