Review of Baby Doll (1956) by Nelson M — 25 Jun 2012
In my opinion, this is the greatest adaptation of a work of Tennessee Williams' beating out both Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire. I think the reason for that is that this film is having fun, as well as being a comedic drama.
That and it takes risks being raunchy, thrilling, exhilarating, and a lot of fun. Baby Doll reaches greatness with it's scandalous story and extremely strong performances. This is certainly one of the great Southern films alongside Sling Blade and Deliverance.
