In Reply to: RE: Last night: The Fugitive Kind, with Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani posted by Victor Khomenko on February 16, 2017 at 05:46:08
Haven't watched The Fugitive Kind, yet, but I picked it up during a Criterion half-price sale along with a few other Tennessee Williams based films including The Night of the Iguana and Suddenly, Last Summer. Saw Street Car on the big screen during a local theater's summer movie series. It's a tour de force in that format.
Last of the Mobile Hotshots is another Williams story directed by Sidney Lumet.
Baby Doll contains a treasure trove of quotes.
During my studies as an English major, I was sucked into the Southern Gothic genre. Wise Blood based on Flannery O'Connor's first novel dir. by John Huston and God's Little Acre based on Erskine Caldwell's novel are a couple of other films in this genre that are worth a look.
A film not in the Southern Gothic genre, but which includes a performance as strong as some of Brando's is East of Eden. James Dean knocks it out of the park in that one. The opening scene is epic.
Follow Ups:
Some of these we know, but I got down a couple of names, although the boss is reluctant to watch more of Williams - too depressing, she sez. :)
So we watched the Suddenly, then went on to East of Eden.
Problems with these great old films is that virtually none of them exists on streaming side of Netflix, and our disc queue is already way too long.
