Playwright Tennessee Williams Pulitzer winning book of "A Streetcar named Desire" was adapted for Screen by Williams himself. It was a perfect vehicle for Marlon Brandowho became a towering Hollywood figure and is regarded to have defined a new concept and style of Acting after he appeared as the rustic and brutish Stanley Kowalski in the Elia Kazan directed film of the same name in 1951.
Brando had already appeared in the Broadway version of this play in 1947 which was a big success but mass-appeal eluded him. Earlier after a disastrous schooling sojourn he found his true calling when he moved from Nebraska to NYC to join the "Actor's Studio". This school of acting propagated the 'method acting' under Lee Strasberg. It was in "New School Dramatic Workshop" where he studied with Stella Adler and learned the revolutionary tactics of the "Stanislavsky system".
Brando's realistic acting style in "A Streetcar named Desire" (1951) garnered for him a Academy Awards Nomination for Best Actor and continued his nomination streak in his next 3 films in consecutive years winning the coveted award in 1954 for his portrayal as the vulnerable Terry Malloy in "On the Waterfront" directed by none other than Elia Kazan. Brando had a profound effect on stars like James Dean, Paul Newman, and to some extent Robert DeNiro.
