Vivien Leigh in dramatic closing scene - "I've always depended on the kindness of strangers." Powerful dramatic scene as she is taken away to a mental institution. Marlon Brando, Carl Maulden.

@aMakola You are right; that is what happens at the end of the play. In the '50s, though, they would have expected some kind of morality to be portrayed, so Kazan had to make it at least seem like Stella was going to leave Stanley. Despite the changes, though, I think the movie still manages to get the main points across. I can only imagine what it would have been like to rewrite this play with the rampant censorship! Thanks for the comment.

@yellowrose32 Does Stella believe Blanche at the end? Is that why she leaves Stanley? In the original play there's a line in which she says to Eunice, "I couldn't believe her story and go on living with Stanley." She does not leave Stanley then because she chooses not to believe her sister's account of what happened.

@Paniro02 Isn't "hey,stella" more on target?
-
@blizganti you think the end of the play is happy? i think this ending is much "happier" than the play. the play leaves so much injustice and despair hanging unresolved. just my opinion.

what a great ending! and what a great line "I've always depended on the kindness of strangers."

ive just finished the play in class. the film has a happier ending but the play's ending makes more sense i guess. i mean it would be boring if everything had a happy ending
