A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire was one of the biggest hits of the Broadway season of 1948, and helped further the careers of its director Elia Kazan, its star Marlon Brando, and especially its writer Tennessee Williams. The drama about a factory worker and his wife hosting her Southern belle sister won Williams a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was later made into a successful film, also directed by Kazan and starring Brando.
