Jonathan Demme directed this gentle, funny story in which two agonizingly shy people find expression for their usually repressed feelings when they perform together in an amateur theatrical production of A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. Christopher Walken and Susan Sarandon are a joy as the two unlikely potential lovers. The original version aired on public television as part of the AMERICAN PLAYHOUSE series. The script is based on a short story by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
