The story is about Blanche who visits her sister Stella via a tram called Desire, Stella is married to Stanley a brute of a man soon as Blanche arrives the drama unfolds. This to me is Vivien Leighs greatest role, Vivien as Blanche was a brillant performance. Stanley was played by Marlon Brando, who also gave a great performance. This is a gritty story brought to life by some brilliant performances, this movie still holds up today and deserved it's recognition.” read more
