Dir. Elia Kazan - 1951 - 122m
A co-presentation by ALBUQUERQUE LITTLE THEATER in anticipation of their upcoming live production of the play A STREET CAR NAMED DESIRE! It's a special double feature deal (2 movies for the price of one - see one or both for the same price!) with Sidney Lumet's spellbinding THE FUGITIVE KIND (1961).
Based on the play by Tennessee Williams, this renowned drama follows troubled former schoolteacher Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh) as she leaves small-town Mississippi and moves in with her sister, Stella Kowalski (Kim Hunter), and her husband, Stanley (Marlon Brando), in New Orleans. Blanche's flirtatious Southern-belle presence causes problems for Stella and Stanley, who already have a volatile relationship, leading to even greater conflict in the Kowalski household.
"Has a permanent place amongst the classics, not only for the performances but for Tennessee Williams' raw writing about people raw with pain, fear, longing and complicated feelings." - Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
"Epic performances in a movie that seethes with atmosphere." - Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
"Quite simply, fabulous." - James Christopher, Times (UK)
