What horrified Brando most: "People have asked me if I'm really Stanley Kowalski. Why, he's the antithesis of me. He is intolerant and selfish. Kowalski is a man without any sensitivity, without any kind of morality except his own mewling, whimpering insistence on his own way. I can't think-I can't believe-that we are here for one terrible, gnashing, stomping moment and that...
...individual performances are expert. Most unusual casting: Marlon Brando giving a flamboyant performance in the showy role of Mark Antony, Caesar's ruthless avenger.

After two hours trapped in a narrow room with Blanche, sitting under her spray of words alternately cloying and hysterical, the onlookers are likely to sympathize with Kowalski's growing impatience. As a result of keying his action too high and throwing out too much emotion at the audience, Kazan has produced a film that is always exciting, but that in the end is less moving than its script...
