TCM certainly is starting off the first week of 2019 with a bang. Tonight it’s presenting a prime-time double feature of Marlon Brando movies – and not just movies, but indelible, incredibly influential classics. At 8 p.m. ET, it’s 1954’s On the Waterfront, written by Budd Schulberg, directed by Elia Kaza, and co-starring Eva Marie Saint, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb and Rod Steiger. Then, at 10 p.m. ET, it’s the Brando film that established him as an instant movie star, and changed movie acting from then on: 1951’s A Streetcar Named Desire, based on the play by Tennessee Williams. This superb drama, capturing all of Brando’s natural and animalistic energy, co-stars Vivien Leigh, Kim Hunter and, again, Karl Malden. And, again, Eliza Kazan directs.
