Blanche duBois is in real need of a protector at this stage in her life when circumstances lead her into paying a visit to her younger sister Stella in New Orleans. She doesn`t understand how Stella, who is expecting her first child, could have picked a husband so lacking in refinement. Stanley Kowalski`s buddies come over to the house to play cards and one of them, Mitch, finds Blanche attractive until Stanley tells him about what kind of a woman his sister-in-law really is. But when Stella goes to the hospital to have her baby and just her sister and her husband are left in the house, their relation gets more intense, and Blanche’s reality crumbles around her. Adapted from Tennessee Williams’ original play, the film won four academy awards, amongst them best actress for Vivien Leigh and actress in a supporting role for Kim Hunter.
