Summary: Val Xavier (Marlon Brando), a drifter of obscure origins arrives at a small town and gets a job in a store run by Lady Torrence (Anna Magnani), a sex-starved woman whose husband Jabe M. Torrance (Victor Jory) is dying of cancer upstairs. Val is pursued by Carol Cutere (Joanne Woodward), the enigmatic local tramp-of-good-family, who covets his snakeskin jacket as much as his body and tries to seduce him in the cemetery. Val is more attracted to the mature Lady and gets her pregnant. (imdb)

Not one of the best by Tennessee Williams, a lot of overwritten speeches and blatant metaphors. The core cast are all very good, and Stapleton is wonderful in her small role. The characters are the usual bunch of wild cards and frustrated souls, and the drama involves some pretty heady subject matter. Lumet's direction is strong too, with some wonderful camerawork and staging. It's just the dialogue that stinks. Still, worth seeing for the performances and Brando fans shouldn't be disappointed.

There's both a shimmer of greatness and an eye-rolling pomposity to the dialogue, almost simultaneously; all leading up to an incredibly unsuccessful finale. The performances pull it through, mostly. Brando is always awesome.

Tennessee Williams is only ever sultry melodrama and liberal hyperbole, plodding in tone, pathetic when revealed.
