The tension between Blanche and Stanley builds, reaching its climax when Stella is taken into hospital and the pair are left alone together. The film won four Academy Awards including Best Actress in a Leading Role (Leigh), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Hunter) and Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Malden) and was nominated for a further eight.
