A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
August 11, 2014  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Ten Marlon Brando movies are shown today and tonight, as TCM devotes the day to one of the most influential actors in cinema history. Watch him explode, and change all the rules, as Stanley Kowalski in this 1951 film version of his stunning Broadway debut. Then stay tuned, and strap in, because Brando isn’t through yet. At 10:15 p.m. ET, he stars in 1953’s The Wild One, playing the rebel in a biker gang movie that provided one of the inspirations for the name of The Beatles. Then, at 11:45 p.m. ET, comes 1954’s On the Waterfront, which was as important and impressive, in its way, as A Streetcar Named Desire three years earlier.
