About
A Streetcar Named Desire

Blanche DuBois must be the greatest character ever created. Vivien Leigh goes far and above the strenuous requirements of this challenging role, and she succeeds beautifully. Seriously, greatest performance ever in film. The rest of Kazan's film is almost as fantastic as Leigh's work. The sexual tension between Leigh and Marlon Brando is so alive and intense that it pulsates in their scenes together.
