Hi dfn8tly,

It surprised me, too. This morning I typed Brando and Streetcar into a Google search, along with pictures or posters or photos and that picture popped up all by itself.

But just now, when I saw your question, I did the same thing and I got this one. It says "wardrobe test" too, but with the tee-shirt and below you see the one that didn't make it.

It looks like lots of brains were somehow imprinted with the one that did not make it. Interesting. I am starting to wonder if the movie and the poster were different maybe. It was 1951, after all, and maybe the wife beater was too risqué to be on the sign in front of the movie theater. Or maybe it was just too risqué for any of it.

And Linda,

Would that I could save you. I cannot even save myself. Once you start that stream of consciousness thing, it is really hard to stop. Oh, Linda, be careful. It is a slippery, slippery slope, indeed.
