Curiosités
Anecdotes:
Anna Magnani was hot to sleep with co-star Marlon Brando, but he did not find her attactive. The tension that was created between the two co-stars did not help the film but subtracted from it, as her failure at conquest made Magnani unhappy. Tennessee Williams was angry with Brando, convinced that he was deliberately slurring his dialogue to punish Magnani, who did not speak English. Magnani was playing the role phonetically and had trouble picking up her cues from Brando.

Juking? Oh! Well, that's when you get in a car, which is preferably open in any kind of weather. And then you drink a little bit and you drive a little bit, and then you stop and you dance a little bit with a jukebox. And then you drink a little bit more and you drive a little bit more, you stop and you dance a little bit more to another juke box! And then you stop dancing and you just drink and you drive. And then, you stop driving.

i cannot believe that i had never heard of this movie. the only possible explanation is that it was spun out of a play that bombed. that said, Sidney lumet does an amazing Job of lithely sprinkling the classical over northern Mississippi (without screaming 'look were being classical now') from a historical perspective the themes dealt with here are amazing both for their envelope pushing and their subtle overlay. the acting is the best I've seen. Brando is third best, Anna M. is next. both are outdone by Woodward. The character actors Jorie and Stapleton are better than all of them.
