A Streetcar Named Desire

The window after Stanley throws the radio through it.

When Mitch embraces Blanche, she puts her arm around his shoulders, which changes between shots, either her left one or her right one.

When Stan comes back from taking Stella to the hospital, he is looking for a bottle opener.

He finds it on the mantlepiece shakes up a bottle of beer and opens it.

The beer foams up and spills on his trousers.

But if you watch at the moment when he swings himself up to sit on the table - before he opens the bottle - you can see that the front of his trousers are already wet.

Apparently they re-shot it without him changing into dry trousers.

Stanley says that Louisiana utilizes the Napoleonic Code (which was promulgated a year after the Louisiana Purchase).

Actually, Louisiana uses as its private law the Louisiana Civil Code.

Although it is similar to the Napoleonic Code, it has always been the controlling legal authority in the state.

During conversation about Napoleonic Code between Stella and Stanley, plate Stanley has been eating off disappears off top of trunk which is suddenly open.

The position of the collar on Stanley's silk pyjamas changes between shots, varying between up and down.

Stanley says he served in the 241st Engineers and fought in the Battle of Salerno.

However the 241st Engineer Combat Battalion fought in the Asiatic-Pacific Area, not in Europe.

A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) : Brief Review -Over-delusional, Over-hectic but well in dramatic proportions. A Streetcar Named Desire is quite a dark story of 2 people, 1 is Psychotic delusional woman and the 2nd one is a brutish young married man.

A Steetcar Named Desire-****-A Masterpiece- Directed by: Elia Kazan. Written by: Oscar Saul, Tennesee Williams (Play and Co-Screenplay), Starring: Marlon Brando, Vivien Leigh, Kim Hunter, Karl Malden.

Great American director Elia Kazan's at the time controversial and boundary pushing adaptation of Tennessee William's equally controversial but famed stage play is a film that continues to live out a strong and respected life in the minds of cinephiles and critics across the globe, with its intensely acted and on point scripting making it the quintessential version of the story of the DuBois sisters.Through stage and screen there have been ample iterations of William's heavy hitting drama that deals with mental illness, repression, relationships and the human condition in general but Kazan and his performers (each of whom were nominated for Academy Awards with gongs going to Vivian Leigh, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden) invest their hearts and souls into this incendiary tale of Leigh's teetering on the edge Blanche DuBois, whose trip to New Orleans may well be the catalyst for her tipping over.

A genuine work of art has to feel like a miracle, a magic trick you can't fathom, can't understand why it affects you as much as it does, because it seems to do more than words or brush strokes or melodies should be able. Actual "art" really only begins once this has been achieved.

Many loved this remake of the 1951 film based on Tennessee Williams 1947 play while others, like me, were appalled. Ann-Margaret as Blanche DuBois seemed wrong from the get-go, but I suppose the director was correct in letting A-M play the role to her strengths rather than attempting to have her use characteristics she can't project (i.

The TV remake of A Streetcar Named Desire does not measure up to the classic film starring Vivien Leigh, one of the finest actresses who has ever lived. Ann- Margret gets and A for Effort in this remake, but her essential personality is simply too robust to portray the fragile Blanche.

The story is too old...I found it so weird to watch this film.

This is not exactly just a movie it is an exhibition of the most profound acting skills that sort of suggest that the race in the profession of acting is all about who can feel deeper! Of all the artists I have watched on screen, I have seen just two people who could have pulled off such a complex movie: Marlon Brando and Sivaji Ganesan.

Guess what? Marlon Brando is not there in the list, moreover he is not even in first 40 physically strong men at the recent cataloging of "Entertainment Weekly".
