About

Oscar® winners Marlon Brando (1973, Best Actor, "The Godfather"), Anna Magnani (1956, Best Actress, "The Rose Tattoo"), Joanne Woodward (1958, Best Actress, "The Three Faces of Eve") and Maureen Stapleton (1982, Best Supporting Actress, "Reds") lead the stellar cast of this Southern gothic "sizzler" (Los Angeles Times) based on the Tennessee Williams play "Orpheus Descending." Thanks to "brilliant" (The Film Daily) performances, "The Fugitive Kind" "sets one's senses to throbbing" (The New York Times).

Valentine "Snakeskin" Xavier (Brando) is a handsome drifter with a guitar and a past. Taking a job as a store clerk in Two Rivers, Mississippi, his strong and silent manner attracts not only the local party girl (Woodward), but also the shopkeeper's exotic wife (Magnani). Soon, this explosive love triangle will ignite a powder keg of fury that could rock this small town to its very core!
