The film changes the text because it is much less explicit - there is no obvious sexual scenes or violence as it was in the play. Vivien Leigh acts as Blache DuBois, and this character appears through a cloud of smoke which creates mystery. A key motif for Blanche is smoke and mirrors.
When Stanley first appears there is no throwing of the meat which would have been considered yoo animalistic. They've made him seem like a proper Hollywood star - attractive and not portrayed in a violent way in the opening of the film. Stella is put across as a household slave - she is relying on Stanley for money and is asked by Blanche to go and get her a drink.
