WHAT MOVIE WERE THEY REFERING TO WHEN ELAINE SAID STELLA?

If anyone has the answer let me know.

A small off-broadway play later to be made into a few semi-successful art house movies was the source of that line.

Idiot.

They were referring to Marlon Brando's Stanley, in "Streetcar called Desire". Doesn't everyone know that?

Yes, and "Everyone" also knows that it is A streetcar NAMED desire.

Everyone else is saying "a street car named desire" I believe...I don't think that's correct though...? Isn't it from "rockey"? (Lord only knows which ONE)...After rockey wins, he starts SCREAMING for "stella" (his g/f)...right?

The movie was On the Waterfront starring Marlon Brando.

Ok. I have watched this thread with a counter in my hand. The breakdown of people who knew the answer to those who didn't know the answer is about 50-50. Here is the answer:

The PLAY from which the line came was, "A Streetcar Named Desire". A movie was made from it later. The movie was successful, but "Streetcar" has been seen by more people as a play than as a movie.

I apologize for any condescending thoughts about people not knowing the answer to Jimb's question. It appears that many people don't know the answer. However, I do NOT retract my insinuation that Web TV subscribers are (in general) biotians. That said, I will remove my Web TV filter but I will not remove my Jimb Bosco filter.

"On The Waterfront" spawned the famous line: "I could'a been a contender... "

Cheers, Steve

Let's close this thread out so's (sic) we can complain about the lame episodes with the resultant recovery of bandwidth.
