Cate Blanchett- A Streetcar Named Desire


Recommended Posts

Great link, thank you.

There's still exciting theater out there but the stage doesn't occupy the same place in the cultural scene that it did when Williams wrote Streetcar. Angels in America (the first part) was certainly a powerful experience for me.

Funny you should mention Tandy and Pleshette. Hitchcock cast them both in The Birds. Neither woman was at her best, in fact the acting in that picture is uniformly awful except for the crows and the seagulls, but they're bad in different ways; Tandy hams it up in High Theah-tah mode and Pleshette is doing Method stuff.

Now that I look at Brando again in "Streetcar" I can see how brilliant he was in ways that completely slipped past me when I was younger.

I'm always struck by how funny he is. (Maybe a little too funny.)
