Reviews

"Opinionated, revealing, constantly entertaining account of the birth and growth of Tennessee Williams's most famous play." --Kirkus Reviews "A comprehensive minihistory of 20th-century American stage and screen and [Staggs] doesn't skimp on tabloid juice." --Publishers Weekly "With his infectious devotion to Streetcar, Staggs surely will motivate many to revist the play and watch the film." --Los Angeles Times "as loquacious and overripe as Blanche herself and as hard to resist." --Washington Post "...a spellbinder..." --The Hollywood Reporter
