Baby Doll

By Jim Hoberman

Wednesday, October 14th 2009 at 3:41am

Dir. Elia Kazan (1956). Tennessee Williams concocted this mad Actors Studio farce, Kazan's only comedy, in which a Mississippi child bride who refuses to allow her glad-handing husband to touch her, gets seduced (maybe) by his hated, ultra-ethnic rival. Baby Doll was publicized with one of the largest posters in Times Square history (a nightie-clad Carroll Baker curled up in a crib, sucking . . . her thumb); New York's then archbishop, Francis Cardinal Spellman warned his flock that seeing the movie was in itself a sin. Your move.
