Seemingly lost and broke, Southern belle Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh) travels to New Orleans to visit her pregnant sister, Stella Kowalski (Kim Hunter). Stella's brutish husband, Stanley (Marlon Brando), resents Blanche's presence, and is unhappy when she begins seeing his friend, Mitch (Karl Malden). The tension between Blanche and Stanley builds, reaching its climax when Stella is taken into hospital and the pair are left alone together. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
