The film version of Sweet Bird of Youth. I wish I could have seen the play with Geraldine Page, and I'm happy she got the film role, as well, because that isn't always the case from stage to screen. Geraldine Page is my all-time favorite actress and, when I started working at NU, I met one of her sons, Jon, who is still a friend. You'd think I'd be thrilled, but I've never ever talked to him about his family! It seems rude and weird, esp. his mom, who is long dead, and his dad, who has... some problems that are public. And a cousin, Sissy Spacek. Although, one day, I was listening to The Lemonheads at work and Jon commented that he had just been to a party with Evan Dando and continued to tell me of their hijinks. *snort* OK, then.

The film Period of Adjustment was a fun one, actually, and I don't know when I realized it was written by Williams, as it's not his usual fare.

In fact, I like a lot of the screen versions of his plays-- Streetcar and Hot Tin Roof-- despite the southernness strangeness-- are still great movies, I think. And The Rose Tattoo is fantastic-- it might be my favorite Williams, actually. Night of the Iguana is good.

Something I didn't like is Baby Doll. Gross.
And Suddenly, Last Summer sucks. lol

I've also seen some of these plays onstage, but not any big productions.
