Turning to community theater to help overcome his shyness, an awkward hardware store clerk (Christopher Walken) gets cast as Stanley in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and plays opposite a captivating Stella (Susan Sarandon), who falls for his brutish persona. Adapted from a short story by Kurt Vonnegut (Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five), this touching 1982 production originally aired as an installment of PBS's "American Playhouse" series.
