Description:
Oscar ® winners Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront), Anna Magnani (The Rose Tattoo), Joanne Woodward (The Three Faces of Eve) and Maureen Stapleton (Reds) lead the stellar cast of this Southern Gothic 'sizzler' (Los Angeles Times) based on the Tennessee Williams play Orpheus Descending. Thanks to 'brilliant' (The Film Daily) performances, The Fugitive Kind 'sets one's senses to throbbing' (The New York Times). Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier (Brando) is a handsome drifter with a guitar…and a past. Taking a job as a store clerk in Two Rivers, Mississippi, his strong and silent demeanor attracts not only the local party girl (Woodward), but also the shopkeeper's exotic wife (Magnani). Soon, this explosive love triangle will ignite a powder keg of fury that could rock this small town to its very core.

This film is absolutely impecable. Throughout the film, Brando and Anna Magnani are superb actors. It a duel. what I find really wonderful is that all the conversations between the two of them, that are intimate, their voices are kept in a mezzo tono.It gives really the atmosphere of complicity and sensuality that is required by the author of the play. The climate of intolerance in a small town in the USA is perfectly depicted, and the counterpoint, Joanne Woodward is remarkable. I recommend this ... Read More

MIRIAM HOPKINS PERFORMED THE STARRING ROLE ON LIVE STAGE, IN WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL TITLE OF THIS MOVIE, BATTLE OF ANGELS IN 1941. THIS WAS THE FIRST PUBLICLY PRODUCED PLAY (IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS) BY TENNESSEE WILLIAMS.
THIS FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION DID NOT MEET WITH ANY SUCCESS, AND WAS PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THE FIRE SCENE AT THE END, THE THEATER ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE, AND THE AUDIENCE HAD TO FLEE FROM THE THEATER. LUCKILY, SUCH IS NOT THE CASE WITH MOVIES, AS THE SCENE CAN BE ... Read More

It's sort of like Tennesee Williams decided Streetcar Named Desire was just too happy, so he wrote something even more depressing, and cryptic. But terrific acting from all involved makes this movie a must see for film buffs. This movie is on fire with emotion.
Rating: -
This Film was another example of Cinema at its peek when so much more was expected from actors other than their good looks of fame. Here we see Brando in one of his early characters as a wandering young man looking for something but not knowing exactly what or where that is. Magani was also a wonderful Actress to complement his character of loss & bewilderment.
It also reflects the southern small town drama which centers around the small elite who cal the shots is such typical settings. Brando ... Read More
