More About

Before Brando developed an affinity for butter — both eating it and, well, you know — he sweat-stained his way through a not-so-ironic wifebeater in the 1951 version of Tennessee Williams’ iconic American masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire. Star-studded, wrenching, empathetic, the multiple Academy Award winner — Vivien Leigh took home the Best Actress Oscar for her all-too-true portrayal of nutty, fallen Blanche DuBois — is considered “culturally, [and] historically significant” by the National Film Registry. This summer you, too, can “depend on the kindness of strangers” as the Belmont presents a free viewing of this iconic film Thursday as part of its Dive-In Movies series. The pool opens at 8 p.m., and the movie rolls at 9 p.m., so bring your suits, towels, lawn chairs and blankets for the lawn and a pocket full of cash for the bar and light snacks available from the kitchen. Streetcar has everything scandalous: homosexuality before it was hip, domestic violence, rape, primal sexuality and scowling, slinking Stanley Kowalski. Visit belmontdallas.com for more details. The hotel is located at 901 Fort Worth Ave.
