Ok so I've had a read of all the covers and it says if you write on a film in Section A you cannot write on a film in Section B. Does this mean if I do 'Look Both Ways' in Section A I cannot write on 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in Section B? Or is 'A Streetcar Named Desire' considered as a play? Thanks for your input and good luck all for tomorrow.

If you look in the English study design it says lists Streetcar as "Williams, Tennessee, A Streetcar Named Desire (2)"
Williams was the playwright.. so the form of the text they are asking you to use is the PLAY not the film.
Therefore yes, you could write on it in Section B even if you write on a film text in A.
The film adaptations are not the text you're writing on.

Ok thank you so much derivativex ! I studied Streetcar as an extra text, as in it's not a part of our school's course. I was also wondering is there any major differences between the film adaptation and the play? I assume they would be similar enough in content and concept, so having not read/seen the play would still be adequate to write on it?

I don't really know to be honest, as I'm not doing the same context as you. Sorry :(

From what I recall of the film, it was pretty faithful to the play except for the end where Stella takes the baby and leaves Stanley. In the play she stays with him and chooses to believe him when he says he didn't rape Blanche.
So that is a pretty major difference which would probably drastically change your perception of Stella as a character.
