A Streetcar Named Desire - Steelbook Edition

Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureA Streetcar Named Desire is the 1951 Elia Kazan/Tennessee Williams triumph that earned 12 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture , while also courting controversy with some last-minute edits undertaken to appease the censorship board.Marlon Brando made his first indelible mark on audiences in this powerful adaptation of Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Gone With the Wind's Vivien Leigh is the neurotic belle Blanche du Bois who struggles to hold on to her fading Southern gentility against the brutish badgering of her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski (Brando). Leigh, Kim Hunter, Karl Malden and the rich black-and-white cinematography were all awarded Oscars for this cinematic classic.While Brando was the only one of the film's four Oscar-nominated actors not to secure a win, his passionate cries of Stella! Stella! Stella! remain etched forever in Hollywood history.Special FeaturesCommentary by Karl Malden, Rudy Behlmer and Jeff YoungElia Kazan: A Director's Journey (1995 First Run documentary)A Streetcar on BroadwayA Streetcar in HollywoodCensorship and DesireNorth and the Music of the SouthAn Actor Named BrandoMarlon Brando Screen TestOuttakesAudio OuttakesWarner Bros.
