Williams' work reached wide audiences in the early 1950s when "The Glass Menagerie" and "A Streetcar Named Desire" were adapted as motion pictures. Later plays also adapted for the screen included "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", "The Rose Tattoo", "Orpheus Descending", "The Night of the Iguana", "Sweet Bird of Youth", and "Summer and Smoke."
