Let's get real and switch the sexes
I don't know how realistic this movie is and for all I know it's commonplace for a woman of a certain age to troll for younger male "lovers", buy them presents, clean them up, and bask in their flattery. But as it's written by Tennessee Williams, I would wager good money it is far more commonplace that it's MEN of a certain age that do this kind of thing. (what men? Mr. Williams, perhaps). I think they wrote this script about a woman looking for a young gigolo, but based it on something that is a trait of aging homosexual men. Just cast a woman in the lead role to disguise it.
