with Vivien Leigh continuing the season of films starring Marlon Brando
Brando's startling performance as the brutish Stanley Kowalski is played-in his own words-as a character who is aggressive and completely without self-doubt. His performance firmly established him as America's leading actor, consolidating a style of acting that influenced a generation both on and off screen. The film - based on Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize play, depicts the disastrous relationship between Kowalski and the faded Southern belle, Blanche du Bois-a portrayal which won Vivien Leigh one of the film's five Oscars.
Screenplay by TENNESSEE WILLIAMS based on his own play
