Streetcar Named Desire w/ Ann-Margret

Being a big Ann-Margret fan, i bought this not too long ago on VHS and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Ann-Margret was relatively strong in Blanche's quieter moments, but when it came to the mental anguish, it just seemed like the role was beyond where she could go. Treat Williams was pretty inadequate to me as Stanley. I was quite surprised by how ineffective I thought his performance was. Randy Quaid was alright, but nothing special as Mitch. The only performance by the leads that I could really praise totally is Beverly D'Angelo as Stella. She was quite solid.

It's the only version I like. Don't understand your issues with it, at all. I hate the original film, so if you're doing a comparison, then I have no sense of reference.

"How much was your video?"

About $25 on Amazon.

Nope, not doing a comparison.

I loved the original film, but I also liked the Jessica Lange version.

Loved this version! A-M, Treat and Beverly turned in amazing performances.

Aa much as I adore AM, I did not care for her as Blanche or Belle Watling.
