5.0 out of 5 stars best of the best, November 29, 2001

I saw this a few years ago at the urging of a friend who believed Ann-Margret's performance to be the ultimate Blanche. I didn't expect much, certainly nothing beyond credible where Ann-Margret was concerned. However, I not only believe this is the best of the Blanches (we should have gotten from Jessica Lange at Least what we expected - a disappointment) - I believe this is the best performance of any role by an actress on film or video. Depth and instinct of a great great actress. Heartbreaking and nuanced. No wonder Tennessee hand picked her for the role. It's hers. Why isn't this more well-known? Available?

Ann-Margret was a magnificent Blanche, and the production itself was astounding. It captures the sadness, melancholy, sensuality of its characters, New Orleans, and Mr. Williams' text.

I loved this production the first time I saw it on tv and time hasn't changed it. Ann Margaret is the definitive Blance Du Bois and Treat Williams gives a tour d force performance as Stanley Kowalski. Usually remakes tend to be weak, but there is not one weak link in this production. Purists will gripe because it isn't Brando or Leigh, but to me the performances were on par with the original. Younger viewers will probably enjoy it more than the original. My regret is that it is not available on dvd.
