'I once went out with a doll who said to me, "I am the glamorous type, I am the glamorous type!" I said, "So what?"'
Set against the steamy backdrop of the New Orleans old quarter, this atmospheric tale depicts the conflict between a fading Southern Belle from an old colonial family and the brash lower class family her sister has married into.

I enjoyed this. Should be a good, quick read, especially if you enjoy some of Williams' other works like The Glass Menagerie.
The reason I liked these two plays is because the characters remind me of people I know in real life. Williams does a great job at creating realistic characters.
Part of my NoLa trip theme reading. It's a good story, if kinda creepy. And it packs in a lot of commentary on gender and class in such a short piece. I can see why it was such a huge hit.
I guess I'll need to watch the movie now.
