Turning to community theater to help overcome his shyness, an awkward hardware store clerk (Christopher Walken) gets cast as Stanley in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and plays opposite a captivating Stella (Susan Sarandon), who falls for his brutish persona. Adapted from a short story by Kurt Vonnegut (&NFi;Cat's Cradle&NFi_;, &NFi;Slaughterhouse-Five&NFi_;), this touching 1982 production originally aired as an installment of PBS's "American Playhouse" series.
