"street car named desire" was authored by tennessee williams who was gay. in his writing he was interested in exploring variations in sexual activity. if you know the story, if you've seen the play or you've seen the movie, it was controversial. it was popular et cetera, but it was a play about a very aggressive sexual behavior. marlon brander, was in the play and the movie. in the play, beats his wife and rapes his sister-in-law. they take the rape scene out of play -- it was in the play. they don't put that in the movie. they suggest it a little bit, but they don't make it explicit in any way, although they do have this one episode where he strikes his wife. an interesting topic today, and it was certainly a topic that was not talked about much either in the late '40s or '50s, but it hit the screen. and kinsey is fascinated by the fact that williams in this play and movie is actually bringing, exposing, if you will, the sort of deviant or sexual problems or sexual aggression because it's part of the stuff that interests him, and it's certainly consistent
