A quick gander at the names of those involved is a dead giveaway that this is something special.
Tennessee Williams drafts a screenplay, based upon his own stage play of the same name.
Filmmaker Elia Kazan molds it into something that is so special, it has never been duplicated.
Add in more names to the brew.
Cinematographer -- Harry Stradling
Composer - Alex North
and a few interesting actors:
Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter
Add it all together and you end up with a project that not only stands the test of time, but has the ability to stand it on its head.
What does it look like?
Black & white, with beautiful shadow detail, and rich blacks. The majority of the film looks superb. Dupes lose a generation. Main title sequence is strangely soft, slightly out of focus, and window-boxed without reason, which leads me to believe that this is not a new image harvest, but rather, something that's been sitting around for a few years.
Great film. Generally beautiful Blu-ray.
