New York, Broadway, 1947:  The premiere of the play "A Streetcar Named Desire", a Tennessee Williams’ masterpiece, directed by Elia Kazan. I’m satisfied with my portrait of Stanley Kowalski (played by Marlon Brando), a working class immigrant, uneducated, violent, animal and attractive. He is probably an unsurpassed example of machismo in the literature of the 20th Century. I’m not satisfied with my portrait of neurotic Blanche DuBois (played by Jessica Tandy). She is more complex person then I presented.
