A Streetcar Named Desire

Set in heat-oppressed New Orleans, A Streetcar Named Desire is full of tensions and excitement and provided in 1949, when it was first seen in London, the young Vivien Leigh with one of her most memorable roles as the delicate beauty Blanche Dubois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions which lead her to reject so far as is possible, the realities of life with which she is faced.
