My pick for the 1950s!!

Movie length: 2h04m50s

I looked it up and Vivien Leigh won best actress for this role, and I'm so glad that she did. She was SO GOOD!!!

The range that she showed is nothing short of amazing.

Now I want to see a production of this play 🤩

For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie.  You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again. You can also hold " ctrl + shift + ] " or control then shift then the ] key on your keyboard when you have a video window active and it will open the pop out

Thank you so much for being here!!

FULL LENGTH REACTION | A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) [2026]

You need your own copy of the media to watch along with me though since this is solely my reaction. The video is there so you can have an idea when the scene changes in case you need to sync up, but it is HEAVILY blurred so I don't have any copyright issues. Enjoy!!

Marlon Brando didn't win the Oscar in 1951 for his acting in this film. The Oscar went to Humphrey Bogart for "The African Queen." But you could make a good case that no performance had more influence on modern film acting styles than Brando's work as Stanley Kowalski, Tennessee Williams' rough, smelly, sexually charged hero. When "A Streetcar Named Desire" was first released, it created a firestorm of controversy. It was deemed immoral, decadent, vulgar, and sinful! That being said, despite the overwhelming power of Brando's performance. "Streetcar" is one of the great ensemble pieces in film. Kim Hunter's Stella can be seen as less of an enigma; we can easily see why she was attracted to Stanley. Vivien Leigh's Blanche is a sexually hungry woman posing as a sad, wilting flower. And Karl Malden's Mitch-Blanche's hapless gentleman caller is more of a simp. Watching this film is like watching a Shakespearean tragedy. Of course, the outcome is predestined, but everything is in the style by which the characters arrive there. Watch Brando absently scratching himself on his first entrance. Look at the way he occupies the little apartment as if it were a pair of dirty shorts. Then watch him flick that piece of lint. 🔥

Thank you, Véro! 🚃 I love this story so much. 🔸 You really must see Vivien Leigh in GONE WITH THE WIND (1939).
