[SitttaraDreams]

Its much better to watch and follow the script. Its like having a voice over.

[angelofdeath8588]

She is an excellent actress on American Horror Story.Brilliant.

[normandyangel]

[nawafalrumaihi]

[christina8000]

So this is where the wifebeater originated.Wow.

[jerbritt]

I've read this play. But I missed watching it in class so I might as well watch a bit now xD

[hatetoloveyou13]

i'm watching this because of panic! at the disco.

what what! :D

[Amb3rPotter]

Don't just watch the film, read the play too guys! It's really awesome. Sanley's lines are so funny and ironical. And yeah, The film with Marlon Brando is much better :)

[omgadi94]

You should really put the rest up!!

[omgadi94]

Stella is beautiful and she is not fat at all. Blanche is crazy.

[zeldagirly22]

what would be nice is if the entire movie was uploaded

[Zilbernet]

This is now available on DVD. It was long out of print when I uploaded it to Youtube, but now that it's available I've removed the other parts. If you want to watch the rest of it, please buy or rent it. There's a link in the description.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[sukeong]

@Zilbernet ... dear friend, it's just too expensive for us to order it from the U.S. (we're in Southeast Asia), is there any other way to watch this movie online? Thanks.

[ebmanii]

actually this is on dvd

[Zilbernet]

@ebmanii It wasn't when I uploaded it. Looks like the dvd was just released a few months ago. I'll update the description.

That Jessica Lange found humor in Blanche's rather over the top monologues gives credit to a very intelligent actress. Even in 1951, NO ONE talked like Blanche: she knew she was "poetic" and could laugh at herself. It makes her portrayal even more moving. The little giggle she gives. . . . .perfect.

[kgrl889]

ShireenLafferty Yeah, haaaha.

[veeezful]

@JohnnyGNV Thanks! As far as films go, Lange's performance is the definitive one. I like Ann Margret's but Treat William's Stanley was a big disappointment. He spoke in a southern accent! Totally missed the analogy of Blanche vs. Stanley & the genteel cultured Confederacy vs. the crass vulgar Union that finally destroys it. The only reason this is not the definitive version is for the reasons given in veeezful's comment, which is actually MINE. I've no idea why it doesn't say shaiafication...

[esthae775]

Sorry Alec but... I mean... you can't beat Marlon Brando...

[djaniss]

GUYS PLZ WHAT IS THE SONG AT THE STARTING ITS SOOOOO beutiful

[starvonte]

Thank god for Youtube. This is way better than reading the actual play.

[Relda999]

big fan of the original but what da hell, i'll check out this one.

[Rockingeverytime]

Doing this on literature! going to watch it on theatre but now I'm watching the movie first, think I've got obsessed with it, LOL.

[shaiaification]

Jessica Lange's performance is superlative. Not as good as Vivien Leigh's. It is better. Lange captures Blanche's sweet & poetic nature, nervous fragility & vulnerability combined with haughty arrogance, her refined genteel graciousness, her intellectual superiority, her contempt & lust for Stanley & her final descent into demented melancholia, all with far greater authenticity & subtlety than Leigh & Lange never lets the slightest hint of a Yankee or English accent creep into the Mississippi..

[JohnnyGNV]

@shaiaification THANK you for posting the only real comment worth reading. I just received a copy of the DVD for this version and I adore Jessica Lange but I can't seem to come to a conclusion as to whether or not this is truly the definitive version. There were previous interpretations of Blanche that were interesting, including the one Ann-Margret did several years prior to this. But I agree that Lange's performance always teeters on the edge of someone truly having a mental breakdown.

[Godhand156]

blance is even

[Godhand156]

they southern accent is fucking annoying. 

[YoureSofaKingLame]

I actually like the first one better. You know, with Vivian Leigh and Marlon Brando. The whole reason I fell in love with it was from reading it in my English class. :)

[MultipleDeadBabies]

I just want to beat the shit out of Blanche

[babiikaixs]

damn i wishh they had the one with marlon brando lol

[DKJTAY]

@babiikaixs i agree!! omggg!!!

[vickyg51]

lol test tomorrow xP



[TheFormationProject]

Stella is hot.

[TheFormationProject]

test tomorrow :(

[BC95]

@TheFormationProject

You to, damn. :)

[TanTan0108]

The sad thing about this movie is that each character is just trying to imitate the original actors of the 1951 film. None of them are bringing anything original to the roles. I feel like I'm watching a high school production or something. Sad, because Lange, Baldwin and Lane are talented actors.

[WHOLETTHECATSOUTMEOW]

The lady playing blanche doesn't do it for me :\

[narutodbz900]

1 person didn't have to read this for school

[ThrophyDudePS3]

@narutodbz900 I need to read it for english aswell, and I'm from Belgium!

[ShireenLafferty]

I'm sure most of the people watching this are trying to get out of reading it for their english class haha

[Juliabeach]

@ShireenLafferty You caught me :)

[Zilbernet]

@ShireenLafferty It's better than reading the CliffsNotes, which is what I did in high school. ;)

[bistrosidecar]

@ShireenLafferty 20th Century Drama module...ACTUALLY.

[kirby28645]

@ShireenLafferty Same. Tried to read it and got bored. Probably will be again when I try to watch it, but it's better than sitting there reading it. It's a play, isn't it? Should be acted and watched on stage, not read to begin with.

[babiikaixs]

@ShireenLafferty yep totally. haha

[funkyboy90000]

@ShireenLafferty actually I'm a nerd for this type of stuff, I'm watching the movie and follwing along with it by the script :D

[ccannalte1213]

@ShireenLafferty ha of course

[WASSnROLL]

@ShireenLafferty : I am watching this because our community arts center is doing a performance of this and I am the lighting designer and sound engineer.

[Sayka27]

@ShireenLafferty Well I do agree with you...but thankfully I'm not in the bunch you're talking about. Good one though! :P

[morrow71]

@ShireenLafferty plays are MEANT to be watched not read.

[rockies74]

Jessica is a gifted actor, but too much plastic surgery ruined her face.

[CraziieFish]

i'm doing this in literature! :) yay!!

[TheUtd18]

@CraziieFish me too

[BLACKEYEDMEE]

@CraziieFish sooo jealous. i have to do about worl war 1 -_- ...its not all bad though because for drama i could pick this :)

[ThinkPink913]

yayyy , i'm doing this in theater ... i play blanche (:

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

I never knew about this version. I assume this one is going to keep the ending more faithful to the play than the movie. But it's really brave of Baldwin to bother, I think. Like, great part or not, you know everyone is going to be thinking about Brando.

[LeanahAlA]

is it exactly the same as in the book?

[famoussomeday1506]

thanks for uploading! I had surgery so I had to miss class and we were watching it this week! This is a lifesaver! 

[greenjade11]

I like the movie, too but I do prefer Barlon Brando's version. Can't help it.

[OohcoolProductions]

I love this play, and the Vivien Leigh movie is one of my favorites, but I've always wanted to see the newer version. Thank you so much for uploading!!

[jakewitty]

thank you for uploading this saved my life need to write a paper on it due tommorow hahaha

[GrissFan]

omg thank you a million times for uploading this!! I've always wanted to see the Alec Baldwin version - he's my absolute favorite actor.

[mensahcarrelle]

thank u so much !!!!!!
