Just another Hollywood,Stupid vulgar worship of Class and usual treason and copyright violations on any Master who talked to the poor. Slimy drool Robert Wheeler

No Comparison to ORIGINAL CAST!!!, nice renditions but not great these people...

Cant beat Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman 1958. version

who's here after the AS levels 9695/12 paper?

SPASTIC! COLON!

All that constant shouting would have been heard all over that house. Spoilt it for me.

TLJ and JS ard so young and so lovely-looking!

Jessica is great, actually I imagine Maggie to be an emotional a bit hysterical but loving woman

That Southern drawl is almost another language quite the performance

now my daughter & i have to read the whole play...

Jessica Lange makes language seem three-dimensional, like a scalpel, or a hacksaw, or a sledgehammer. She uses language to cut, crush, flatten, and expose whatever lies or truths are in the way of her characters. Fucking brilliant, she is.

Pretty good. Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman version was excellent. One of my favorite movies.

I preferred the one with Paul Newman in it was a marvellous movie once seen never forgotten .

Lange and Tommy Lee Jones overdoing it with those repetitive southern drawwwwls honeychild. Vary your cadence once in a blue moon.

I think this play might be as good as Streetcar.

Tommy Lee Jones is so sexy in this. I thought so in 1984, & I think so now in 2024.

When you can see a more honest script, it changes everything ... if the 1958 film had been allowed more freedom, the ending in the film (1958 ) would have been more realistic. I couldn't understand the motivation for the sudden change in Brick's attitude toward Maggie [the kissy-kissy ending as the closing credits rolled].

Did anyone else find the music on the radio so odd at 53:21 ?

We are doing this production in Rochester NY, this weekend and next. I am so proud of our work. All due respect, we eclipse this film

OMG. I saw this in 1984 and I have been watching it every day for the last 4 days. It's magnificent.

WOW so glad I stopped to watch this! All excellent players but Kim Stanley as Big Momma blew me away telling her family how it’s gonna be! Love a woman with a backbone. I’ll be watching her other movies now too. Truly a great performance by all.

OMG 😱 OMG 😱 OMG 😱😱😱😱 This Woman IS so neddy 😮😮😮😮😮😢😂😂😂😂

The film with Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Burl Ives, Judith Andersin, etc, was a scorcher in the fifties. A great film. You got to have a talent like Jessica Lang on board, if you want to have the guts to re do it. Lang is one of the greatest actors on film. From her Fancis Farmer to Blue Sky her instincts and genius in her craft can take you down there. She can remind me i have a soul when she pierces it on screen. Elizabeth Taylor in the fifties and sixties was a one woman revolution. She and Brando and Sydny Portier, etc, in the sixties brought about the ratings system. Suddenly Last Summer with Tennessee Williams and Elizabeth Taylor was, and is still, shocking. Taylor's visceral empathy and passion on film was one of a kind. Taylor was a fire storm and is legendary. Tommy Lee Jones is a great talent. He certainly smolders here, he and Lang are a great team up. Jones casts a spell here, I hung on every word. His Raven haired rustic good looks compliment Lang thoroughly. Beauriful woman. But much more his talent and instincts shine here, like hers. In the film in the fifties, when the director landed Newman and Taylor in the leads he insisted on color, because they were so good looking, black and white couldn't do justice to their eyes alone. One of Burl Ives best films. Like Burl Ives in the fifties, Rip Torn here is a revelation. Masterful job by one talented man. These four in this version are a firestorm. Great time watching them make a Tennessee Williams piece their own. I could not look away. Hypnotic. Excellence.

I can't understand what's she sayen

I LOVE JESSICA LANGE. I think she's a fabulous actress. Her interpretation is great, different than that of ELIZABETH TAYLOR'S. TAYLOR'S to me was more seductive, like a cat. Jessica's, to me, is a little more trashy. It's not a bad thing, just different. Jessica only got better through the years. One of my favorite films of hers, besides "Sweet Dreams" is "Blue Sky," with Tommy Lee Jones. Her performance in "Grey Gardens" was phenomenal! 💙

Isso não é remix

Jessica's voice and accent is honey!

The captions are not good can they correct it?

Is it completely like the book The dialogues and all Can I watch this for litterature?

this production has redeemed a great work of American literature butchered by other renditions. A total triumph and major achievement for Rip Torn, Kim Stanley, Jessica Lange and Tommy Lee Jones.

they play very well. impressed me

I'm sorry but the original version is the best

Elizabeth holds herein and no one could ever outdo the Ia this of Paul Newman and then the OG Big Daddy - get outta town!

I think Jessica part ad patsy cline. Sweet dreams. Was better.and her part in country.

To much yelling, can't understand them.

not to watch

1:43:52

Jessica never fails to amaze me.

Jessica Lange's acting is FLAWLESS as usual. And of course, looks stunning.

Jessica Lange's southern accent is sooooo bad lol

So glorious, watched this 100 times since I was a teenager. I do have to say however, The only people who could dare call this overacting would have to be under the influence of pure Yankee mendacity or a shameless sympathizer of the northern aggression...lmao. Being raised in a home and family with a distinctly deserved air of aristocracy I can assure you, I hear nothing in this play I haven't heard in nearly every gathering at my Grandmother's well set dinner table...not to mention the post gorging activities on the back porch swings....lmao. And we wont even go into the molasses smooth banter at the family reunions every year, where roamed more cats, male and female, than you'd find in the poorly lit back alley of a Florida Panhandle fish market. The only downside to this masterpiece performance by all involved is that for 2-3 weeks afterwards I am damn near insufferable in conversation, sporting a plantation drawl that leaves everyone around me with eyes like daggers and displaying the confused expressions worthy of a proper southerner bearing witness to manner-less trash so completely bereft of etiquette as to wear white after labor day IN PUBLIC without even a semblance of the shame such behavior would rightly call for, not to mention the lack of breeding and proper upbringing it exposes, but I digress as I think you can comprehend my point without me having to monologue any further, despite it's most probable assistance in your education on the matter, but I assume if you haven't the breeding required to have understood and called out a few AMENS by now you most probably aren't worth any more of my time.

Thank you for this !!!!.......I’m really enjoying this Didn’t realise Jessica Lange was such a great actress I loved the original with Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman but this is a very close second Great actors all round

Justine Bateman could play Big Mama in a production with Brendan Gleason as Big Daddy, Bill Hader as Brick, Ceicitly Strong as Mae, Peter New as Goopa and Kazumi Evans as Maggie.

Did not know it was remade.

I’m reading “the intent to live” how do I watch the play ?

f bombs? not in the script?

Good, but I prefer the Newman/Taylor/Ives version, great cast in their prime. The Wood/Johnson version is horrific, especially Johnson, who only got the job due to Wood.

Kim Stanley and Rip Torn are unbelievably good. All of them, really, but those two really stand out.

Just saw a woeful local production here in New Orleans, of all places. You'd think this would be one of the places they'd get it right. Watching this now to cleanse my palate, glad to have found it.

I remember watching this when it first aired in 1984. I never forgot it. I was very young and it was my first introduction to Tennessee Williams.
