Cinema Obscura: Two by Tennessee Williams
Much like Neil Simon, Tennessee Williams was that rare playwright whose stage works routinely made it to the screen, where they were often treated as events.
Even his flops were optioned by the Hollywood studios, although their screen counterparts were equally unsuccessful. Two come immediately to mind - one completely forgotten and the other remembered only as a camp classic. Both underwent title changes for their respective film versions.
Needless to say, a DVD incarnation has evaded both.
Let's start with his 1964 play, the wonderfully titled "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore," which made it to the screen in 1968 as a Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton vehicle, courtesy of Universal, under the lame title, "Boom!"
Produced for the stage by David Merrick and directed by Tony Richardson, "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore" starred the singular Tallulah Bankhead as Flora "Sissy" Goforth, an aging ex-Follies girl, retired on the Italian Riviera and writing her memoirs. Her days consist of dictating her autobiography and begging for injections from her nurses. This world is invaded there by swaggering young gigolo Chris Flanders (played on stage by Tab Hunter), known as the "Angel of Death" who upends her life. The play also starred Marian Seldes, Ralph Roberts, Ruth Ford, Bobby Dean Hooks and Konrad Matthaei.
"The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore" opened January 1st, 1964 at the Brooks Atkinson Theater. It ran for five performances.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Tennessee Williams
“Cat on a hot tin roof” is a play about the human experience in a society, which tries to dictate to people how they should live, and at a time where lack of human communication leads to the unavoidable loneliness of man. In the overcharged circumstances of a family crisis many truths are revealed about human feeling: our desperate fear of death, our love of life, our hidden guilt, our insecurities, our inability to face the truth, our materialism, our greatness, our pettiness…The impression given of man is of a dramatic helplessness, an inability to do anything else but be human…

Williams was born in Columbus, Mississippi, on March 26, 1911, and named Thomas Lanier Williams. He spent most of his youth in St. Louis, Missouri. After intermittent attendance at the University of Missouri and Washington University, he received a B.A. degree from the University of Iowa in 1938. He worked at a variety of odd jobs until 1945, when he first appeared on the Broadway scene as the author of The Glass Menagerie.

    Sphere.Inline.search('sphereSideBar','http://time.com/') tiiQuigoWriteAd(755769, 1290761, 180, 200, -1); O'Neill gave the American theater a new birth of seriousness. Williams annexed for it a new terrain of freedom. In his plays, the previously unmentionable was said; the formerly unavowed, acknowledged. He once defined the motivation at the core of his writing: "I was brought up puritanically. I try to outrage that Puritanism." Outrage it he did, to the point of being regarded by some as a kind of Southern gothic erotomaniac. Williams dealt in taboos, yet the taboo is often the touchstone of drama: in the profoundest Greek play, a man murders his father and marries his mother. Williams mesmerized as well as outraged playgoers with Orpheus Descending (murder by blowtorch), A Streetcar Named Desire (rape, nymphomania), Summer and Smoke (frigidity), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (impotence, alcoholism, homosexuality) Sweet Bird of Youth (drug addiction, castration), Suddenly Last Summer (homosexuality, cannibalism), and The Night of the Iguana (masturbation, fetishism, coprophagy). Yet the shocking surface was never the substance in Williams. He was and will remain the laureate of the outcast, what he called "the fugitive kind"—the odd, the lonely, the emotionally violated. The sense of loss and vulnerability that one finds in his characters was imprinted on the playwright at an early age. Williams was born in his Episcopalian clergyman grandfather's rectory in Columbus, Miss. His forebears included a genealogical treeful of romantics, adventurers and notables: Poet Sidney Lanier (1842-81), some Tennessee Indian fighters, an early U.S. Senator, and, way back, a brother of St. Francis Xavier's. When Tennessee was seven, the sunlit backyards of his boyhood were exchanged for rows of St. Louis brick flats the color of "dried blood and mustard." The change was shattering for Williams, and he was to make of the South a mythic past, an expulsion from Eden.

    Tennessee Williams' South
    The Tennessee Williams Collection The "bonus disc" within Warner's welcome (but frustratingly incomplete) Tennessee Williams Film Collection, this 80-minute documentary offers a meandering introduction to one of America's pantheon playwrights and our chief spokesman for Southern discomfort's most idiomatic losers and wannabes. Being Harry Rasky's 1973 documentary for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, it's not a new look at Thomas Lanier Williams. What it is, though, is a candid view that gives us Williams himself (who died in 1983) in and around New Orleans and his Key West home, reciting poetry, touring us through his childhood and family, reading from his plays, and reinforcing his own self-mythology through the people, places, and events that he used for inspiration. Big Daddy in Mister Charlie , Colleen Dewhurst and John Colicos in the "God" scene from Night of the Iguana , William Hutt performing Quentin's big monologue from Small Craft Warning , Broadway's original Blanche DuBois, Jessica Tandy, delivering a famous monologue from A Streetcar Named Desire , and Maureen Stapleton's Amanda (with a painfully miscast Michael York as the Gentleman Caller) from The Glass Menagerie Tennessee Williams' South is an entry-level and stylistically dated look at Williams, but we recommend it for newbie enthusiasts, American Lit or drama students, and film buffs wondering where all these poetic dreamers, misfits, and good ol' boys came from.

    Previously unknown Tennessee Williams poem found in the budding playwright's 1937 Greek exam By Liam Otten April 8, 2005 A piece of literary history has returned to Washington University in St. Louis, thanks to a fortuitous find in a New Orleans bookstore. This 1937 test booklet, recently found in a New Orleans bookstore, contains a final exam in Greek by then-student Tennessee Williams along with a previously unpublished poem. Download Yet the reception of "Me, Vashya" was not the only factor in Williams' decision to leave Washington University. As biographer Lyle Leverich reports in "Tom: The Unknown Tennessee Williams" (1995), the playwright was deeply concerned about his upcoming final examination in Greek. In a May 30, 1937, journal entry, Williams complains of "Blue devils all this morning" and concludes, "Tomorrow Greek final which I will undoubtedly flunk." Henry I. Schvey

    PAUL BOWLES: LITERARY FRIENDS, Part One Tennessee Williams Born March 26, 1911; died February 25, 1983 The American playwright Tennessee Williams first met Paul and Jane Bowles in Acapulco, Mexico in 1940, when he was still unknown. In subsequent years, he made occasional visits to see Paul and Jane Bowles in Tangier, where he enjoyed writing while relaxing and exploring other areas in Morocco. He sometimes wrote at the Sun Beach, a beach-front restaurant where could also eat and drink while enjoying the ocean views and sunshine. Williams wrote the play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Sun Beach while on vacation in Morocco, and the actual setting for Cabeza de Lobo in his 1958 play Suddenly, Last Summer is the tranquil town of Asilah, Morocco. It was later adapted into a successful film in 1959 by Columbia Pictures that starred Elizabeth Taylor, Katherine Hepburn and Montgomery Clift, with a cameo appearance by another of Paul Bowles' friends, the writer and novelist Gore Vidal. Tennessee Williams in Tangier , written by Mohamed Choukri , was translated by Paul Bowles, who closely collaborated with Choukri on the translation. The work was first published by Cadmus Editions in 1979.
