"This is a film about passion, and the movie positively oozes it."

"Lacks the poignancy you could almost swear was a given, considering it was adapted from an acclaimed Tennesse Williams play."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz

"Over a dozen Tennessee Williams’ plays have been translated on celluloid 41 times to date, yet none match this production."
Old School Reviews

8/10
"
Streetcar
should have been Vivien Leigh's picture, she's the main character, but it's Brando who steals every scene he's in."

"
A Streetcar Named Desire
is a fascinating, wrenching character study."

Robert Roten
4/4
"That melancholy we feel as it closes is a mourning for me that I'll never be able to see this film again for the first time--and that I'll never be able to appreciate any film that came before it without the stain of it in my perception."
