Continuity mistake: When Stanley throws the radio out of the window, he throws it through the second pane of the right hand side, but when the camera comes back to it, it is now the left hand pane that is smashed.
Trivia: In 1951, the time of the movie being shot, New Orleans no longer had streetcars, but the tracks were still there. The movie studio obtained special permission to use the streetcar named desire for Blanch's opening scene.
