A Street Car Named Desire (30)


Wow...it has to be said that even portraying an abusive and vulgar brute, Marlon Brando still made me a little hot!
I was pleasantly surprised to see Ms. Vivian Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara) as a blonde, and quite psychotic! It was very interesting since I've only ever seen her in Gone With The Wind. She had a few monologues that I might steel when I start my acting classes! She's so timeless.
A Street Car Named Desire was actually very good. Overall it had a pretty good message, although I'm not sure if I'm getting the right message.
If you're following along the movies with me, the priest in On The Waterfront is in this movie as Brando's friend/co-worker turned enemy after he falls for Leigh's character who plays Brando's sister in law.
Even if you don't get into the movie, nothing will make up for it better than seeing Brando in a torn, wet tee shirt with all of his muscles pouring out...yum.
