Though there was a subtly comedic edge to a lot of Williams' works, he wasn't known as a traditionally comedic writer. Period of Adjustment, however, was Williams' first stab at pure comedy and tells the story of a newlywed couple on their way to Miami. During the trip, they visit some friends and find their own relationship on rocky ground when th...
Most of Williams' plays ended up on the big screen, but many also saw adaptations on the small screen as well. Orpheus Descending tells the story of a mysterious drifter in 1940s Mississippi, who arrives in a small town and begins a relationship with an Italian immigrant who is trapped in a loveless marriage of convenience. Generally considered one...
By the mid-1960s, Tennessee Williams' filmography had tackled most of his classic full-length plays, therefore, This Property is Condemned looked to one of his one-act plays for inspiration. The story follows a railroad official who comes to a small Mississippi town in order to close down the town's railway connection. Though he is hated by the ent...
With a much catchier title than the play it was based on, The Fugitive Kind took further liberties with its source material, Orpheus Descending. The story follows a drifter from New Orleans who strikes up an affair with a married woman in a small Mississippi town. Marlon Brando is known for his intimidating characters, and as Val, he lights the scr...
Though tame by today's standards, Sweet Bird of Youth was a tawdry and dramatic film for its era, and it was met with a fair amount of controversy upon its release. The story follows a drifter who returns to his hometown after years of trying to break into the movie business. With a fading actress along with him, the man digs up the old trouble tha...
Though it failed to move the needle in its theatrical film adaptation, The Glass Menagerie finally got its due in a TV movie version from the 1970s. The story follows a complicated woman, and her struggles with identity, motherhood, marriage, and faded ideas about Southern gentility. With a tiny cast of only four characters, the story hinges heavil...
In some ways, Williams' plays are products of their time, but in other ways, they deal with timeless themes that never grow old. Suddenly, Last Summer tells the story of a surgeon who is assigned to look into the case of a young woman whose aunt wants her to be lobotomized to cover up a shocking family secret. While the idea of lobotomies may sound...
Set far from Williams' typical setting of the American South, Night of the Iguana was one of his most adventurous plays of all. The story follows a disgraced priest who conducts tours of middle aged women through coastal Mexico. When their tour bus breaks down for the night, the man is stuck in a small Mexican town with a woman from his past who ru...
If there is one thing that Tennessee Williams was good at, it was building tension over the course of his plays. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the story of Brick, an alcoholic ex-football player who is in a loveless marriage with his wife. The return of his father into his life sparks a host of bad memories which haunt the broken man. As the name sugges...
No film sums up Tennessee Williams' catalog quite like his dramatic classic A Streetcar Named Desire. The film follows Blanche, who moves in with her sister Stella and Stella's violent husband, Stanley. The claustrophobic energy of the film slowly simmers throughout the runtime until it finally boils over in the final scenes. All three lead perform...
