Baby Doll / USA / 1956

From its opening shot (Caroll Baker nestled in a crib, sucking her thumb, while Karl Malden lasciviously looks on) to its end frame (an alcohol-fueled showdown outside a rickety Southern mansion), Baby Doll manages the impressive feat of seeming like an overwrought parody of a Tennessee Williams play, when it was in fact written by Williams himself. Highly controversial upon its release for its frank sexual content, the movie seems tame by today’s standards, and is more likely to be regarded for its camp value than anything else.
