- Making a list of films to see before we visit New Orleans; Wikipedia: By the time the film was in production however, the Desire streetcar named in the play had been converted into a bus service and the production team had to gain permission from the authorities to hire out a streetcar with the “Desire” name on it. The streetcar visible in the film, Perley Thomas #922, was restored in 1998 and is still in service in New Orleans.
