A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE


 "A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE" --- (1951) --- 

MY THOUGHTS: This movie is a true classic and (in my humble opinion) every movie fan needs to watch it at least once in their lifetime. Everything about it is well-done, from the writing to the acting and from the cinematography to the editing. That is why it is so highly regarded, has won so many awards and why audiences world-wide still watch it so often. It is well-worth a watch and never gets old.
SYNOPSIS: "Based on the play by Tennessee Williams, this renowned drama follows troubled former schoolteacher Blanche DuBois as she leaves small-town Mississippi and moves in with her sister, Stella Kowalski, and her husband, Stanley, 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."
