“Director Elia Kazan has been criticized for his appearance on the Un-American Activities Committee that lead many people related to cinematography to be ostracized.
This been said, regardless of his political stand, he had directed many great Oscar winner films as: “Gentleman's Agreement” (1947), “Viva Zapata!” (1952), “East of Eden” (1955), “Splendor on the Grass” (1961) and the present “Streetcar Named Desire” (1951). He has directed two “Movie Icons” as Marlon Brando (more than once) and James Dean obtaining the best from them. All his films explored the inner depth of human soul with unflinching stare.
“Streetcar Named Desire” is not an easy play to film; Tennessee Williams touches many critical issues here, some are shown in the movie and some didn't cross the censor's barrier.
Nevertheless what is left is more than enough to shake the viewer. This is the plot: a middle aged woman from a small Southern town arrives to New Orleans in search of her sister, which has married “a stranger from the big City”. She has an unstable personality and looks for some one to give refuge and sense to her life. Different conflicts arises: she clashes with her brother-in-law on cultural and economic issues; she stresses her relation with her caring sister; finally try to engage into matrimony a friend of her in-law. All this happen while she is psychically deteriorating.
Actor's performances are really top-notch. Vivien Leigh is Blanche DuBois, the troubled fleeing sister and won the Oscar with her performance. Marlon Brando is... just Marlon Brando... giving the first steps of his successful career: He fleshes the pedestrian Stanley Kowalski, which resent and despises her sister-in-law, with a feral untamed force. Kim Hunter as Stella Kowalski gives the best performance of her extended lifework, earning the Oscar to Best Actress in Supporting Role. Last but not least Karl Malden also earned his Best Actor in Supporting Role Oscar with a sober but convincing characterization of Harold Mitchell, Stanley's friend.
Classic film for adult audiences.” – Customer Review on Amazon.com
“Tennessee Williams is arguably the greatest American playwright of all time, and among his many fine creations A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is his finest play. The 1951 film version is the ultimate version of Williams' masterpiece, with Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden repeating the roles they played on Broadway and Vivien Leigh reprising her London role.
Brando gives his breakthrough performance. He revolutionized the naturalistic acting that had only been hinted at in the past by others. His is marvelous, but I am just a bit disappointed that STREETCAR is remembered by most people as just Brando's movie. He is faultless, and I couldn't dream of anyone else then or ever who could play the part so well, but the simple fact is this: the movie belongs to Vivien Leigh.
It was Vivien Leigh's great fortune to have portrayed what are very likely the two greatest feminine roles ever to reach the screen (and winning Oscars for both of them). Her Scarlett O'Hara remains unimpeachably one of the finest pieces of acting in cinema history, and her Blanche DuBois is indeed another.
Of all the many memorable women Williams created, Blanche is easily the most complex and profound. In a role of such breadth and depth, Vivien Leigh definitively matches her previous achievement. Clinging desperately to a flimsy facade of respectability, unable to accept the savage reality of what has happened to her, and just as unable to comprehend how her sister Stella (Kim Hunter) can endure it, Blanche is slowly losing her mind. Her desperate line, “I don't want realism! I want magic!” is a cry from the heart. Mental disintegration has never been so powerfully depicted on the screen.
No other American playwright (possibly no one since Shakespeare) has created such durable poetic dialogue. On one of many multiple viewings, it is good to just sit back and let the brilliant Williams lines wash over you, as you savor almost every word spoken for its sheer beauty and exquisite emotion. At times A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE becomes an opera, with the Williams dialogue both the libretto and the score.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE might easily have been the first motion picture to be Oscared in all four acting categories. Indeed, Miss Leigh, Miss Hunter and Malden won well-deserved statuettes. The one loser in 1951 was Brando. It would have been nice for him to win, but along with the eventual winner, Humphrey Bogart in THE African QUEEN, he had some stiff competition from Montgomery Clift in A PLACE IN THE SUN. With today's films focusing more prominently on sciences and less prominently on arts, it is unlikely that any film will ever win four Oscars for acting.
After the success of STREETCAR, many other Williams plays were adapted for the screen. Almost all of them have been very good, some superb, but probably most people would name STREETCAR as the greatest film version of a Williams play.” – IMDB.com
