this version of williams beautiful play take all the magic and memory and and poignancy out of the story . the play be a wispy and fragile thing and the movie take the story and which remain and and shift it to a typical film structure and take the great thing about the play out and put all the conventional movie stuff in . add to that a totally misguided change to the end and where laura suddenly have a new gentleman caller ( . ) and the sadness and purity of the whole thing fall apart . the play be about a man who leave his sister to a sad and lonely life and his own emotional confusion and regret about follow his personal journey instead of care for his mother and loving sister . take that out and you have get . nothing . very disappointing .
