It is always difficult to pull off a remake of a genuine classic work of art and the 1951 definitive black and white film version of STREETCAR is just that - a classic work of art.
The use of color in this production is however non-invasive as the shadows, both interior and exterior, are retained, thus softening the blow.
Jessica Lange's Blanche builds mightily on the Vivien Leigh performance and occasionally drawing from the Ann-Margret incarnation preceding her. It is not an original conception of the character. That having been said, she does a very good job in portraying Blanche - probably the best written female character in the entire history of world theatre (with the exception of the Greek heroines).
Her Blanche is more flirtatious and seductive than prior Blanches, thus giving us the clue by which Stanley immediately discovers her fatal flaw - a nice touch.
It's great to have the whole play. The cuts made for the film (Blanche's detailed account of the deaths at Belle Reve, the lengthy discussion between Blanche and Stanley re money, Blanche's last memories of Belle Reve prior to her rape scene, etc.) are restored here and the character is better fleshed out as well as allowing us to hear that wonderful Williams poetry.
Baldwin is merely acceptable as Stanley, Goodman does well as Mitch and Lane is quite good as Stella, especially in her scenes with Lange. This is a fine performance over all and is worthy of DVD release.
