"Stella! STELLAAAAAA!". Of course, it's all about the acting (Brando, Vivien Leigh) in this Elia Kazan adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play, but the director knows how to make it more than film theater. The close-ups in particular add an extra dimension. Brando introduces the white T-shirt and the wife beater (the latter almost literally) as a fashion item for the unhappy many.
