    Plot: Blanche 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 doesnt understand how Stella, who is expecting her first child, could have picked a husband so lacking in refinement. Stanley Kowalskis 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 Blanche really is. What will happen when Stella goes to the hospital to have her baby and just Blanche and her brother-in-law are in the house?

    Trivia: There are 27 entries in the trivia list - like these:
    • Jessica Tandy was originally slated to play Blanche, after creating the role on Broadway. The role was given to Vivien Leigh (after Olivia de Havilland refused it) because she had more box-office appeal.
    • John Garfield turned down the role of Stanley Kowalski because he didnt want to be overshadowed by the female lead.
    • Vivien Leigh, who suffered from bipolar disorder in real life, later had difficulties in distinguishing her real life from that of Blanche DuBois.
