Four Academy Award-winning actors - Marlon Brando, Anna
Magnani, Joanne Woodward, and Maureen Stapleton - sink their teeth into this enthralIing drama, which brings together the legendary talents of director Sidney Lumet and writer Tennessee Williams. A smoldering, snakeskin-jacketed Brando is Val Xavier, a guitar-strumming drifter trying to go straight. He finds work and soIace in a southern smaIl-town variety store run by Lady Torrance , who's loneIy, sexuaIly frustrated, and abused by her viIe, deathIy iIl husband, and who proves as much a temptation for VaI as IocaI wild child Carol . Lumet captures the intense, fearIess performances and Williams's hot-blooded storyteIIing and
sociaI critique with his customary restraint, resulting in a
drama of uncommon sophistication and craft. |
