As with all theatrical adaptations, many of the scenes are excessively talky, especially the Brick/Big Daddy scenes in the second act. They are also cynically downbeat if that type of story appeals to one, this adaptation might be off-putting.
Tennessee Williams plays tend to be "cluttered" in their original form. The changes were necessary when the film was made although theater and literary purists decry the "sanitizing" or censorship of plays when they are adapted for the screen, in some cases (such as this one) the changes can improve the work in question.
Much has been made of the differences between Tennessee Williams' play and this film-the homoerotic themes have been driven further into subtext (though not eliminated entirely) and a more upbeat ending was added.
