A Genuine Masterpiece
"A Streetcar Named Desire"  is the film that catapulted Marlon Brando to movie stardom.  Though he had appeared the year before as a disabled veteran coping with a return to civilian life in "The Men," it was this adapation of the Tennessee Williams play that cemented the Actors' Studio alumnus as one of the most influential screen perfromers of the 1950's.<br /><br />Elia Kazan, who also directed the Broadway play, infuses the drama with raw emotion which is far more theatrical than ciinematic.  What holds the viewer is the first-rate performances: Brando as the brutish Stanley Kowalski; Vivien Leigh as the fragile Blanche, more at home in her memories of better times than sharing a residence with her sister and husband in a crowded New Orleans apartment; Kim Hunter as Stanley's long-suffering, ever-patient wife Stella; and Karl Malden as Stanley's pal Mitch.<br /><br />Along with Brando, Hunter and Malden starred in the Broadway play.  Leigh, who played the role of Blanche in the London production, won a Best Actress Oscar.  Hunter and Malden, too, won Oscars for their supporting performances, but Brando lost the Best Actor prize to Humphrey Bogart, who won for "The African Queen."  The movie received an unprecedented 12 Academy Award nominations in all.<br /><br />The movie portrays a culture clash between Blanche DuBois, a fading relic of the Old South, and Stanley, a blue-collar, earthy member of the immigrant class.  Blanche is a Southern belle whose pretensions to virtue, culture, and art mask her nymphomania and alcoholism.  When Blanche arrives at the house of sister Stella, Stella fears Blanche's arrival will upset the balance of her relationship with husband Stanley, a primal, rough-hewn, sensual man who dominates Stella in every way.  Stella tolerates his offensive crudeness and lack of gentility largely because of her sexual need for him.<br /><br />The new digitally remastered Blu-ray edition contains the original restored version of the movie, which was never seen because of Legion of Decency censorship.  Special features include commentary by Karl Malden, outtakes, Marlon Brando's screen test, full-length documentary on Elia Kazan, five featurettes, and a 40-page book containing photos, film facts, and behind-the-scenes production details.
