The Fugitive Kind

The Fugitive Kind

For the 1937 Tennessee Williams play, see Fugitive Kind. The Fugitive Kind is a 1960 American drama film starring Marlon Brando and Anna Magnani, and directed by Sidney Lumet. The screenplay by Meade Roberts and Tennessee Williams was based on the latter's 1957 play Orpheus Descending, itself a revision of his unproduced 1940 work Battle of Angels. Despite being set in the Deep South, the United Artists release was filmed in Milton, New York. At the 1960 San Sebastián International Film Festival, it won the Silver Seashell for Sidney Lumet and the Zulueta Prize for Best Actress for Joanne Woodward. The film is available on videotape and DVD. A two-disc DVD edition by The Criterion Collection was released in April 2010. A stage production also took place in 2010 at the Arclight Theatre starring Michael Brando, grandson of Marlon Brando, in the lead role. This particular production used the edited film version of the text as opposed to the original play.

Carol Cutrere:
Juking? Oh! Well, that's when you get in a car, which is preferably open in any kind of weather. And then you drink a little bit and you drive a little bit, and then you stop and you dance a little bit with a jukebox. And then you drink a little bit more and you drive a little bit more, you stop and you dance a little bit more to another juke box! And then you stop dancing and you just drink and you drive. And then, you stop driving.

Lady Torrance:
Are you a lady's man?

Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier:
It's been said that a woman can burn a man down... I can burn a woman down.

Carol Cutrere:
[Xavier and Carol are driving at night in her sports car. She tells him to pull over at what appears to be the entrance to the local cemetery, "Wisteria Hills"] Pull over here.

Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier:
[Unaware of where they are] You live around here?

Carol Cutrere:
[Slightly incredulous] Nobody lives around here! This is the local bone orchard!

Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier:
I got myself into a situation here, Lady.

Lady Torrance:
No, you're not fooling me, mister. She's waiting for you outside.

Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier:
No.

Lady Torrance:
In her car, yes.

Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier:
No...

Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier:
I want you to understand.

Lady Torrance:
What?

Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier:
I got myself into a situation here that I can't get out of.

Lady Torrance:
Not in a town like this.

Valentine 'Snakeskin' Xavier:
I've been threatened with violence if I stay here through the night.
