Do you think Marlon was hot in Streetcar?

Somebody posted on this board that they challenge any woman to watch Streetcar and not think Marlon was sexy. Well my mother did and she didn't find him sexy. I don't agree with her but there you go. No matter how hot somebody is you can't please everybody.

It is obvious that Marlon had something about him. This was the film that launched his career afterall.

One of the points of the story of Streetcar is that Stella puts up with being in an abusive marriage because she is so attracted to Stanley that she can't leave him no matter how he treats her.

Brando is hot in this movie! It's Stanley's personality that marks the difference between him being hot (eye candy - which he is), and being actually 'desirable', which he isn't.

He looked gorgeous but that affected nasally mumbly voice ruined it (nevermind his character's actions). It's hard to believe that anyone at the time thought that voice was sexy but I don't know, it was a very long time ago, maybe that was sexy back then.

I'm a straight guy and I would totally suck him off.
