I find myself watching ‘A Street Car Named Desire’ on the screen and I’m amazed, stunned. I realise I’ve seen it before and a similar sensation came to me then as is now. These movie stars of the 50’s could really act.!! When was the last time you watched a piece of film that has only four characters and two sets! When was the last time you were so mesmerised by the actors on the screen, that the lines on their faces and their sets would hold your gaze more thoroughly than all the explosions one could muster. Why I find myself talking with blanche’s southern drool.  I truly have been mesmerised by Brando and the like. Fantastic. Oh where are the actors that can do that now.?

Now, I wrote a song a few years back called ‘my liability’ and it contained a lyric that went “… got a monster streetcar named desire.” I’ll dig it out and post it a.s.a.p..
