Can't they do the movie version with her?

I'm a big fan of hers overall -- she's beautiful, of course, and extremely charming and polite in person, and she comes across as elegant and classy in pretty much everything she does.
In Streetcar, though -- at least the performance I saw -- I found her performance to be sort of unsubtle and overwrought. She frequently shook and trembled, for example, and I could just see her deliberately making her hands shake. And her histrionics -- though of course some histrionics are key to Blanche's character -- were too over the top for my taste. I just didn't find her very convincing, and I preferred the slightly subtler performances of the play's other actors.
This, of course, is why I'll never be a theater critic.

On another note, my father will be sadden to hear this. On the Waterfront is his favorite movie.

Helicopters will follow the body to the coroners; there will be a controversial autopsy; Malden's nurses will be wanted for questioning; there will be a fight over custody for Nancy, Kathy and Prince Karl the Third aka 'Shamwow' (ages 60, 65, and 67 - were they his to begin with?); marathon repeats of Streets of San Francisco on VH1; and speculation if the ever-expanding patches of brown were a rare skin disease known as 'liver spots' or if Malden was abandoning his caucasian heritage for something akin to 'Cherokee'.
