Vivien Leigh plays this scene so brilliantly---she's trying to maintain her facade of decorum but when she sneaks that look at Brando with his shirt off you can tell she's MASSIVELY turned on---in spite of the fact that she wants to appear "prim" and "proper." Throughout the film---despite her fear and loathing of Stanley this sexual tension is ALWAYS in the air!! What a powerhouse film---still one of the all-time greats!! "Streetcar" was literally 20 years ahead of it's time---this type of subject matter was simply UNHEARD of in early 1950's American cinema!!
nick jolie well of course the character was, but I think Vivien Leigh the actress herself was a bit turned on when she saw Brando shirtless and almost broke character for a bit.
One of the reasons this movie still stands up is because how contrasting Marlon and Vivien's performances are. They seem to be acting from alternate universes, which gives the movie this very effectively surreal vibe. Both of their work was important to the film's success.
After seeing most of Brando's movies, I have changed my perception on what a man is supposed to be. The modern Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp cannot even compare..in artistic talent or in masculinity. Brando knew how to use him good looks and make it look natural on screen. He will always be remembered.
intr-adevar. he was a hell of a man ;) pana si barbatii care nu sunt gay pot aprecia frumusetea in forma ei pura , sex-appeal-ul si sarmul cand este vizibil cu ochiul liber din alta galaxie. din pacate nu prea mai exista asemenea barbati in generatia prezenta :)
I started having a crush on this dead man reCently after seeing a street car named desire. He was mos def ONE of the sexiest..i can think of a few others
Marlon and Vivien are simply amazing. I'm only 19 years old and I can fully agree that this acting is a hellavah lot better than a lot of the people in Hollywood today. I can actually feel the tension between them; it's entrancing. Marlong is PERFECT for Stanley because he emits this raw, sexual charisma. I was drolling the second he came on screen. And Vivien...I could see on her face she was pretty enraptured herself. Awesome acting. 5 stars.
My God, despite all the (not-so-good) stuff I've read about Marlon, I can't help having a crush on him everytime I see him in his prime, particularly, in this scene. It's just that, he was so talented and devastatingly good looking that, I forget everything.
completely agree...how is it that after all these years of thousands and thousands of movies and roles...is this performance still style of acting still prominent and relative to us? His method of acting was truly of classic...this to me was the birth of 'cool'
He is incrediably awesome,just the way he chews the damn gum it turns you on. HE is so handsome and the we he acts it makes him just so attractive. I wish he was still alive, uhhhhh
When he sees Blanche for the first time the look on his face seems so genuine, just right & not over-done like most actors would.If I met Marlon while he was alive I would have so many questions about the choices he made on screen. What a loss- RIP
Lotta comments about how hot and great an actor he was... I'd like to point out how great a bloke he was too - lived his life with such playfulness, curiousity and compassion. One of the most fascinating people of the twentieth century bar none...
I watched this for English and I didn't know it was Marlon Brando until I read the video cassette. Now I know why everyone fell in love with him. Holy mother of GOD.
agreed! that 10 second mark is where i fell in love! We got shown this clip in a lecture once, i could instantly hear whispering and jaws dropping! oh GOD so pretty i wanna cry!
Leigh and Brando's performances are among the best ever filmed in this movie. I think it's easier for actors to disappoint in great roles than meager one. Certainly, they did not disappoint.
That nod from 1:44 - 1:46 spoke volumes. Marlon Brando's acting was just amazing. You can't help but be drawn to him in this movie and although his character was not the best, you can sort of understand why it was so hard for Stella to leave him. Brando exuded that raw, sexy masculinity. It made it easier for him to really BECOME his character.
It;s funny. When you're a guy and you read this, you're like, " Damn, Stanley's the man! i wish I were more like him! " He's got that raw masculinity that makes women go crazy. And then you get to the end, and you're like "what the fuck did he just do!?!" T. Williams=genius
Ms Leigh is lights out as Blanche. Notice how she delivers some lines with her eyebrow lifting in expression. Timeless cast and what can one say Alex North's score changed it all ...forever!
Yesterday I saw this movie for the first time and Marlon just blew me away. His acting is so natural, and combined with that body... There are no words!
She seems attracted to him in spite of herself. When the cat scared her she touched his arm and didn't seem to exactly hate it. And he kept staring at her chest.
DEFINITELY! I think Blanche and Stanley we're both VERY attracted to each other 😳 I mean tho I WOULD be in LOVE with Stanley too just saying 😂 he was DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! 🔥🥵 also that MEOW was SOO SEXY! 😏
NO WAY!!!! We were reading this extract from 'A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains' and our teacher was saying how Stanley was really similar to this character. My english class is basically all girls with only 3 guys so yeah... we had fun. LoL Omg though our teacher was just like OMG MARLON BRANDO GUH! sooo funny.
Indeed. He was a hell of a guy :) and this comes from a man that is not "gay" (me) but i can appreciate the beauty of a human. Some of us are just jealous we are not handsome like him lol
The first time I saw this my jaw dropped because up to that point I had scene Brando in THe Godfather films after that. But I saw this and he took his shirt off I was thinking the same thing Vivien Leigh may have thought: "Cold shower now!"
if I saw this in school ALL I mean ALL of my classmates would've laughed at me because I'd be in total AWE and my mouth would be open and they'd be like she's in love with Stanley lol but I'd be like DAMN straight I am! 😂😏🔥🥵😳
Oh me, oh my.... I know many people don't mean it when they say something like that, but this is seriously the sexiest man I've EVER seen. Guess I was born in the wrong decade. :((
that's literally my MOOD as well! 😱 young Marlon is the ONLY time in my life that has made me TRULY shook and made me SERIOUSLY think I was born in the wrong era TOO! what a DROP DEAD GORGEOUS babe he WAS! 🔥🥵🔥🥵 watching him in this movie makes me REALLY sad he's not around anymore 😥 I will always be in LOVE with young Marlon tho in my opinion he IS my ideal husband material as Stanley Kowalski 🔥🥵🔥🥵
Ah, not only did actors have timeless beauty back then, they had the raw talent to show they where not just pretty faces. So many of our so called "most beautiful" and "amazing actors" are not even that attractive or even particularly talented. Leigh and Brando blow most of our most celebrated actresses and actors today out of the water!
I agree that Brando oozes raw masculine sexuality and could single-handedly disarm the entire women's movement with that thing that all women (and many men) want. His sex appeal is undeniable. HOWEVER, it is Vivien Leigh as Blanche whom I can't take my eyes off. Her signs of encroaching madness are deeply sad and disturbing. As charismatic as Brando is, Leigh had the much more complex role as Blanche. I have never seen a character as delicate, as seduced by "the other side" as Blanche DuBois.
Ah Marlon mon acteur prefere qui a ete reveler dans ce film de William Tennessee , et qui a fait de beaux films aussi par la suite ,, J'ai eu le privilege de passer mes detentes dans sa maison a Tahiti souvent et dormir aussi ça ete pour moi de beaux souvenirs , meme lui parler au telephone avec un Français parfait , merci pour la video toujours un grand plaisir ,amities de Marseille !!!!!
This movie is a masterpiece. The actors are great (personally, I love Vivien's performance). and the score is beautiful, very sexy. ...and the way Marlon smiles and looks at her after his (sexy and very good) cat meowing is, simply, breathtaking. Definitely, there is no other like him.
Marlon was one cool and good looking guy! of course he gained a lot of weight later in his life, but he never lost his charisma and his coolness! i absolutely love his style in The Wild One (1953). and i think his performences in A Street Care Named Desire, One The Waterfront and The Godfather are one of the most epic in film history!
I LUV him in a streetcar 🔥🥵 the Wild One is great too! 🔥😏 I think Marlon's encounter with Vivien in a streetcar is the HOTTEST movie chemistry moment of all TIME! Mar TOTALLY deserved the Oscar too for a streetcar named desire 🔥🥵
I love this movie and I love the play.. Leigh has been good in every movie.. she was the perfekt Scarlett and the perfekt Blanche. M.B is one of the best actor ever..
Mr. Brando is gone now and he would be old enough to be my great grandpa,but a young Brando good damn. He just oozes that raw masculine sexuality that makes a womans ovaries explode and thought of having your hair pulled and being ravished all night can make you weak. As a straight woman there is nothing sexier than a man like that.
I dedicate this to all those who said and still say that " pretty/ handsome actor /actress = no talent" Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando must be 'ugly as trolls" for you guys because they both were SUPER TALENTED!
@hocht Tracy studied at the Academy of Dramatic Arts. Brando admired Tracy. 'The way he holds back, holds back, then darts in to make his point, darts back. That's the kind of actor I like to watch.
Love the fact Stanley comes in and walks around without taking a second look a Blanche, then when he comes in with the new shirt, he just folds his arms tightly, just happening to show off the muscles :D "How you doin'?" XD
The most handsome, talented and sexiest man to ever walk on Earth. God bless him.
EXACTLY how I feel! God bless him! 😂🔥😏🥵😳
Yeah, Marlon is the ultimate sex kitten! 😊😊😊❤❤❤ Love him! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Dude just defined masculinity in 2 minutes and 5 seconds.
Young Marlon Brando was a GOD
Marlon's body...Holy Jesus!!!Wow !!! This man was such an Adonis !!!
Vivien Leigh plays this scene so brilliantly---she's trying to maintain her facade of decorum but when she sneaks that look at Brando with his shirt off you can tell she's MASSIVELY turned on---in spite of the fact that she wants to appear "prim" and "proper." Throughout the film---despite her fear and loathing of Stanley this sexual tension is ALWAYS in the air!! What a powerhouse film---still one of the all-time greats!! "Streetcar" was literally 20 years ahead of it's time---this type of subject matter was simply UNHEARD of in early 1950's American cinema!!
Every girl acted like this around Brando
I think she was just uncomfortable...Not in any way turned on,For Blanche Stanley was an animal.
nick jolie well of course the character was, but I think Vivien Leigh the actress herself was a bit turned on when she saw Brando shirtless and almost broke character for a bit.
I would've straight up swooned 😂 Stan was SOO GORGEOUS! 🔥😏
Also i preach for Tennesee Williams, the script writer of this movie. He have such a brilliant mind
His cat screech makes the scene!
sweet lord jesus young Marlon was breath-taking and just oozed with natural sensuality. No one did it like him.
One of the reasons this movie still stands up is because how contrasting Marlon and Vivien's performances are. They seem to be acting from alternate universes, which gives the movie this very effectively surreal vibe. Both of their work was important to the film's success.
Thank the Lord for Marlon Brando.
After seeing most of Brando's movies, I have changed my perception on what a man is supposed to be. The modern Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp cannot even compare..in artistic talent or in masculinity. Brando knew how to use him good looks and make it look natural on screen. He will always be remembered.
He's gorgeous ... not a doubt about it
I think he was BEYOND GORGEOUS! 🔥😏 I would've DIED 😳 if I we're Blanche here! 😂😏🔥😳🥵
I've watched this scene over 200 times. I may need help!!!
+crikeymos2 .. same, can t stop watching his face :)) when he does that cats sound :)) JUST OUT OF THIS WORLD STUNNING!!
@@pisiata3651 Iti place , nebunatico ! :D
intr-adevar. he was a hell of a man ;) pana si barbatii care nu sunt gay pot aprecia frumusetea in forma ei pura , sex-appeal-ul si sarmul cand este vizibil cu ochiul liber din alta galaxie.
din pacate nu prea mai exista asemenea barbati in generatia prezenta :)
There is only One Brando.
that's SOO true! 🔥😏🔥😳🔥🥵
Is there anything sexier than Brando chewing that gum and working it all over the room?
NOPE
I started having a crush on this dead man reCently after seeing a street car named desire. He was mos def ONE of the sexiest..i can think of a few others
Unless you hear him meow!
NOTHING. HE IS YUMMY 😋
@@kristinwalz8878 SAME!! I have a crush on him too and he passed.
Lord...
He had amazing talent. Truly a wonderful actor and a very very good looking man too.
i could watch this movie a thousand times in a row and never get sick of it.... AMAZING!
OMG I am going to invent a time machine just so I can go back and meet young Marlon Brando!
that would be SUCH a heavenly DREAM! he was EVERYTHING! 😳🔥🥵
Marlon and Vivien are simply amazing. I'm only 19 years old and I can fully agree that this acting is a hellavah lot better than a lot of the people in Hollywood today. I can actually feel the tension between them; it's entrancing. Marlong is PERFECT for Stanley because he emits this raw, sexual charisma. I was drolling the second he came on screen. And Vivien...I could see on her face she was pretty enraptured herself. Awesome acting. 5 stars.
He's probably the most beautiful man ever.
This man is fierce..Damn. Every walk,script line,expression,and gesture Marlon makes oozes sexy.
Her Stella is so painful to watch. Vivian Leigh and Marlon Brando...there are NO actors like these today. Truly breathtaking to watch.
My God, despite all the (not-so-good) stuff I've read about Marlon, I can't help having a crush on him everytime I see him in his prime, particularly, in this scene. It's just that, he was so talented and devastatingly good looking that, I forget everything.
Nothing has sounded sexier than that cat screech mimic.
My God.
so beautiful. can't handle young marlon brando.
completely agree...how is it that after all these years of thousands and thousands of movies and roles...is this performance still style of acting still prominent and relative to us? His method of acting was truly of classic...this to me was the birth of 'cool'
"Mr. Dean appears to be wearing my last year's wardrobe and using my last year's talent" - Marlon Brando. Enough Said. Enough.
He is incrediably awesome,just the way he chews the damn gum it turns you on. HE is so handsome and the we he acts it makes him just so attractive. I wish he was still alive, uhhhhh
When he sees Blanche for the first time the look on his face seems so genuine, just right & not over-done like most actors would.If I met Marlon while he was alive I would have so many questions about the choices he made on screen. What a loss- RIP
Man. Also, Marlon said in his book that he was thinking of hooking up with Vivien, but thought Oliver was too good of a guy so he didn't
*****
lol maybe it was because he HAD olivier
qqbbrwo11 yeah, Marlon did reveal about his bisexuality.
snillocgrom
Yea experimented with men but wasn't really bisexual thgg.
jokesterr119 sorry but if you're willing to experiment then you're somewhere in the mid section on the Kinsey Scale.
Which book?
he was unique, wonderful actor, but also a beautiful human being.
Sexual tension all over the place...
I think this is the sexiest cinema chemistry scene of ALL time to EVER BLESS my eyes! 🔥🥵
Lotta comments about how hot and great an actor he was... I'd like to point out how great a bloke he was too - lived his life with such playfulness, curiousity and compassion. One of the most fascinating people of the twentieth century bar none...
Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski is THE sexiest movie character EVER.
I watched this for English and I didn't know it was Marlon Brando until I read the video cassette. Now I know why everyone fell in love with him. Holy mother of GOD.
recently watched this for the first time this year and I REALLY MASSIVELY and HOPELESSLY FELL head over heels in love with Stanley 🔥🥵🔥🥵
He was super gorgeous I want to cry :')
I literally cannot handle this
agreed! that 10 second mark is where i fell in love!
We got shown this clip in a lecture once, i could instantly hear whispering and jaws dropping!
oh GOD so pretty i wanna cry!
Leigh and Brando's performances are among the best ever filmed in this movie. I think it's easier for actors to disappoint in great roles than meager one. Certainly, they did not disappoint.
this is the most heart-stopping moment in the history of cinema
never a greater star introduction
nobody else comes close
Hey Stella.

DEFINITELY! I think Blanche and Stanley we're both VERY attracted to each other 😳 I mean tho I WOULD be in LOVE with Stanley too just saying 😂 he was DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! 🔥🥵 also that MEOW was SOO SEXY! 😏
What a hunk! Wish he was our generation's young actor.
they are both one of the best ever actors..and this two have so much chemistry
1:33 Blanche's hand moves like she's considering unbuttoning her blouse....
NO WAY!!!!
We were reading this extract from 'A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains' and our teacher was saying how Stanley was really similar to this character. My english class is basically all girls with only 3 guys so yeah... we had fun. LoL
Omg though our teacher was just like OMG MARLON BRANDO GUH! sooo funny.
Sometimes being shy and at a loss for words is adorable!
OH MY GOD!!! I 've never seen a hotter man in my entire life! WOW!!!
Indeed. He was a hell of a guy :) and this comes from a man that is not "gay" (me) but i can appreciate the beauty of a human. Some of us are just jealous we are not handsome like him lol
Please Marlon, get as comfortable as possible... 😜
If I were Blanche and he looked at me like that, I would have been on my knees....yep....lol
The first time I saw this my jaw dropped because up to that point I had scene Brando in THe Godfather films after that. But I saw this and he took his shirt off I was thinking the same thing Vivien Leigh may have thought: "Cold shower now!"
that kind of hotness must be illegal!!! marlon brandooooo
yes dear nothing is better than a natural man !!!!!
OHMYGAW! We watched this in my comp class and I pretty much drooled the entire time rofl.
if I saw this in school ALL I mean ALL of my classmates would've laughed at me because I'd be in total AWE and my mouth would be open and they'd be like she's in love with Stanley lol but I'd be like DAMN straight I am! 😂😏🔥🥵😳
Wow! Thanx for posting the whole scene. Marlon Brando was so fine back then. What a great scene that was!
This is one of my favorites at The Movies and also Theater Master Art Piece on films
Give him to me!!
Omg....they don't make em like Brando anymore :(.
He had it all; charm, social consciousness, sex appeal and major talent.
Oh me, oh my.... I know many people don't mean it when they say something like that, but this is seriously the sexiest man I've EVER seen. Guess I was born in the wrong decade. :((
that's literally my MOOD as well! 😱 young Marlon is the ONLY time in my life that has made me TRULY shook and made me SERIOUSLY think I was born in the wrong era TOO! what a DROP DEAD GORGEOUS babe he WAS! 🔥🥵🔥🥵 watching him in this movie makes me REALLY sad he's not around anymore 😥 I will always be in LOVE with young Marlon tho in my opinion he IS my ideal husband material as Stanley Kowalski 🔥🥵🔥🥵

damn...what a hot guy that marlon brando is.....i was also born in the wrong decade....no correction....he should have grown up in my decade ;o)
For those wondering about the background song ; "Streetcar Named Desire - Alex North (Highlights)"
Neslihan Pekgüleryüz THANK YOU!!
I LOVE the background song! 🔥🥵
Damn he was fine we he was young!

This movie is a masterpiece.

and the score is beautiful, very sexy.
...and the way Marlon smiles and looks at her after his (sexy and very good) cat meowing is, simply, breathtaking. Definitely, there is no other like him.
Hehehe, he looks like just a kid when he comes in with that jacket.
11 .....thats the number of times I have played this back so far 0.0 HE HE HAS A POWER OVER ME -.-
I fell in LOVE with him watching the film 🔥😳 Stanley was SUCH a ravishing guy 🥵😏
The acting in this scene from both of the actors is just phenomenal.
Yes Brando comes off incredibly naturalistic, like he's living the moment.
omg... saw this movie last night... THIS was the scene that made me fall in love...
I love Brando's cat. Miau
i love the way he does the cat sound
the two greatest side by side performances in history
oh my god he is gorgeous! i love his smile :)
he had such a beautiful smile! 😳
Marlon Brando puts all these young pretty boy actors of today to shame
What a beautiful man! :) I love this movie, I just do...
Marlon was one cool and good looking guy! of course he gained a lot of weight later in his life, but he never lost his charisma and his coolness! i absolutely love his style in The Wild One (1953). and i think his performences in A Street Care Named Desire, One The Waterfront and The Godfather are one of the most epic in film history!

Ήταν όμορφος ακόμα και όταν παχυνε μέχρι τα 80 ήταν όμορφος πραγματικά σπάνιο φαινόμενο
OH GOD I love this movie and I LOVE VIVIEN LEIGH AND MARLON BRANDO
both are one of best actors of all time
You say that is if they are one in the same.
I love this!!
He's amazing!!
And she is so good too!
aah!
He's just beautiful!
I love this movie and I love the play.. Leigh has been good in every movie.. she was the perfekt Scarlett and the perfekt Blanche.
M.B is one of the best actor ever..
This guy can make scratching your stomach look cool.
Great acting!
Mr. Brando is gone now and he would be old enough to be my great grandpa,but a young Brando good damn. He just oozes that raw masculine sexuality that makes a womans ovaries explode and thought of having your hair pulled and being ravished all night can make you weak. As a straight woman there is nothing sexier than a man like that.
Yes, please do take your shirt off, Stanley! Ooh, Marlon is soo hot here, and he and Vivien are so excellent in this film, as is the rest of the cast!
yes thank you! my favorite scene
Yeah but, he's Marlon effing Brando. Just look at that face.
when i saw this in class oh god..... sexiest man alive
I think he did. Biographies on him state that he lived on a farm and would imitate animals to get his mother's attention.
Well,,,, about Marlon Brando there is a lot of things to say,,, but one thing is true, WHAT AN ACTOR... WHAT A TALENT....
I dedicate this to all those who said and still say that " pretty/ handsome actor /actress = no talent" Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando must be 'ugly as trolls" for you guys because they both were SUPER TALENTED!
@hocht Tracy studied at the Academy of Dramatic Arts. Brando admired Tracy. 'The way he holds back, holds back, then darts in to make his point, darts back. That's the kind of actor I like to watch.
Dios lo mejor que he visto en mi vida con Brando hay un antes y un despues en el cine!
Heavenly beautiful + wild = the 100% correct formula Stanley :)
Tennessee Williams is just a BREATH TAKING Dramatist ... What a Masterpiece !!!
that's Stanley 100 percent! tho Stanley to me will ALWAYS be young Marlon 🔥🥵🔥🥵
Love the fact Stanley comes in and walks around without taking a second look a Blanche, then when he comes in with the new shirt, he just folds his arms tightly, just happening to show off the muscles :D
"How you doin'?" XD
I would be like DAMN 😱 you are soo GORGEOUS! 😳 then I would end up blushing like mad 😂
