Construction of characters has a relevant role in the literary work of the American playwrights Tennessee Williams and William Inge. This aspect has a decisive presence in the film industry because the majority of their texts were adapted to big screen in the fifties and sixties; a decisive stage in Hollywood. Its characters are marked by a resounding physical aspect and a deep psychological complexity, and this combination gain relevance in the male, who participated in the breakdown with the model of hegemonic masculinity of classic American cinema. With the objectives of put in value the film work of both writers, to reflect on the impact of the characters in the film and to make an approach to the representation of masculinity in its main movies, this paper tries to reflect how its main characters represented an unprecedented model, more sensitive and become sexualised. In this sense, the male characters that are analyzed are the main of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), Picnic (1955), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) and Splendor in the Grass (1961). From these considerations, this work aims to reflect on how male characters of the film adaptations of Tennessee Williams and William Inge influenced the new model of masculinity that settled in Hollywood from the fifties ​
