A Disturbed Desire

December 3, 1947, Tennesee Williams’ ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ got on stage on Broadway with the unknown Marlon Brando (off and on replaced by Anthony Quinn), Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden. The recurring theme of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ is the reflection of the old and new America. And because this time of year, with reflections of what’s almost passed and what’s on its way coming soon, I think we have got a direct line here. Perhaps with a few slippery stop-overs. Anyway, the picture gives me the right shivers and almost make me sing a Xmas carol. It’s as close as I can get to my desire for a White Xmas. It will be unfulfilled for another year.
