Tennessee Williams' South
A documentary featuring some marvellous observations from Tennessee Williams, as he holds court for filmmaker Harry Rasky. It also has long scenes from his plays, enacted by folks such as Maureen Stapleton, Colleen Dewhurst, and Burl Ives. Especially valuable is a Streetcar sequence with Jessica Tandy re-creating her original role as Blanche. Williams himself reads the narration from 'The Glass Menagerie', a privileged moment.
