[edit] Clarify

In rereading the play, I don't really see the way Stella and Stanley interact in the last scene as suggesting a rape. Discussion? -- 00:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] clear this up

Under TRIVIA:

...he was the only one of the four actors nominated from the film not to win an award.

I don't understand what is trying to be said here. Someone should clear it up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.4.196.71 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Final Fantasy IV?

What the hell? Google searched it. Nothing. I'm taking it out.

[edit] Digging up old gossip

"It was believed that Tandy looked too much older than Marlon Brando to be cast as Blanche DuBois." Believed by whom? Someone who did trust Warners' makeup department?

No doubt, each had their partisans. Oscar Levant wrote (Oscar Levant, The Unimportance of Being Oscar, Pocket Books 1969 (reprint of G.P. Putnam 1968), p. 58. ISBN 0-671-77104-3.) "The late Vivien Leigh also portrayed Blanche in the London company of Streetcar, and not to very good notices, either. Kenneth Tynan in particular thought she was completely miscast." (Levant himself goes on to say much nicer things about her performance.) - Jmabel | Talk 20:21, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Majestic

Someone should state that this was the first movie played in The Majestic. Next was Jim Carrey's movie, Sand Pirates of the Sahara. It states it on the front of the movie theater, where the movie name is listed. Babylon pride 16:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The streetcar in "Streetcar"

The "Desire" line streetcar seen in the film (in the small bit actually filmed in New Orleans) is clearly Pearly Thomas car # 922. The one in the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum is #832. The current website of the Trolley Museum [1] makes no claim that it's the one from the film, so I have removed that from this article. See also [2] for more on New Orleans streetcars 832 and 922 (as well as #453, which was apparently used in some publicity promotional work involved in the film). All this is a bit of minutia as far as the film is concerned, but as an incorrect claim was in the article that needed correcting, here's the info for the record. -- Infrogmation 03:29, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Overview of storyline?

This page really needs an overview of the plot/storyline. Most other film/theater/etc pages have them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.180.99.90 (talk) 10:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
