Review of Baby Doll (1956) by Andrew B — 20 Dec 2010
Tennessee Williams play brought to screen and sumptuously directed by Elia Kazan, Baby Doll is artful dark comedy, wicked even in it's telling of a young childlike woman played well by Caroll Baker who is married to a much older man (Karl Mauldon) who has "bitten off mire than he could chew" with both his young wife and life in general, until the day he burns down the cotton gin of a sly young foreigner played brilliantly by Eli Wallach, who decides to even things up with his eye for an eye philosophy and wolfish ways.
Great fun.
