  • "Tennessee William's play, set in the steamy squalor of New Orleans, tells of a repressed southern widow's mental collapse after she is raped by her brutal brother-in-law. The film's cast was drawn primarily from Kazan's New York stage show except for Leigh who had starred in the play in London. This adaption retained the play's spatial confinement, most of the action being set in the Kowalskis' apartment, contributing to the necessary sense of claustrophobia and impending danger. It challenged the Production Code's censors with its bold adult drama and sexual subjects such as rape, domestic violence, homosexuality, and female promiscuity."@en

  • "Marlon Brando's performance in the film adaptation of Tennessee William's play launched his acting career as well as the directing career of Elia Kazan. The unvarnished sexuality and psychological struggle depicted both onstage and in this the film version startled American audiences of the Eisenhower era. The clash between the aging Blanche's need for self deception and her brother in law Stanley Kowalski's no nonsense view of the world forms the basis for the drama. The character's conflict touches on American issues of class, dignity, social mores, as well as social hypocrisies that author Tennessee Williams knew personally. Blanche has tried to cloak herself in an imaginary world ever since her young husband shot himself. When Stanley learns of Blanche's less than honorable past, he becomes increasingly infuriated at her routine of innocence one moment and flirtation the next. The climax of the play comes when Stanley rapes Blanche while his wife is in the hospital. This drives Blanche, who may have already been mentally unbalanced, over the edge. Marlon Brando would deliver another outstanding performance as a disconcerting sex symbol caught between two strong women in Tennessee William's The Fugitive Kind, seven years later."@en
