Who do you think gives the best performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire"? I am going to include three different versions ('51, '84, '95) in order to broaden the selection. I realize that most posters are (probably) most familiar with the 1951 version and even that will possibly come down to Brando and Leigh.

I haven’t seen the Treat version, but I enjoyed both the original and Lange versions.
I do find a Blanche a tad irritating and I can understand Stanley’s frustration with her. I go for Brando as he was hot and magnetic.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

I liked what Jessica Lange did with the role…it was different from the other versions.
Jessica Tandy originally did it with Brando on stage before it was adapted for the screen.
Won't know how good her performance was, but some have said it was much better than the film.
There's also Christopher Walken and Susan Sarandon within
Who Am I This Time
if that counts for anything
Are you okay?

Thanks for posting that link.
The chemistry looks off in that stage image of Brando and Tandy. It doesn’t seem right.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Thank you for providing the link for "Who Am I This Time?" It's based on a Ray Bradury short story which I have actually read. I had no idea that it was made into a movie.
Now I will want to watch it.
Thanks, geewizz. Have you seen it?
