Tennessee Williams

Documentary on the parallel lives of writer Truman Capote (1924-84) and playwright Tennessee Williams (1911-83).

Gigolo and drifter Chance Wayne returns to his home town as the companion of a faded movie star, Alexandra Del Lago, whom he hopes to use to help him break into the movies. Chance runs into trouble when he finds his ex-girlfriend, the daughter of the local politician Tom "Boss" Finley, who more or less forced him to leave his daughter and the town many years ago.

One of the most famous, influential and powerful screen performances is the centrepiece of Elia Kazan's A Streetcar Named Desire – Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski...

Legendary Oscar-nominated director Sidney Lumet adapts Tennessee Williams' play about alluring but troublemaking drifter Val (Marlon Brando) who, while avoiding arrest in a different town, attempts to hang low and go straight in Mississippi.
