Reviews for Baby Doll

Regarded as scandalous when it was first released, Baby Doll has lost its shock value but retains a strong, sweaty Deep South sensuality.

One of Elia Kazan's most underrated movies is his only pure comedy.

Top CriticI love this stuff; it's remarkably silly, yet the actors play it so straight you'd think it was Hamlet.
05/09/06
Tennessee Williams adapted his one act play in this provocative black comedy, directed with expected intensity by Kazan, and acted by a great ensemble, headed by Carroll Baker in her best (Oscar-nominated) performance as the child-bride.

The movie hasn't aged a day in fifty years.

an impressively steamy story for its day with some moments of true greatness

Wickedly funny salacious black comedy.

Baby Doll (1956) has been called notorious, salacious, revolting, dirty, steamy, lewd, suggestive, morally repellent and provocative.

The grotesquely caricatured performances and the evocation of the baking, dusty, indolent homestead make for witty and compelling viewing.
01/26/06
An explosive, provocative black comedy from Tennessee Williams and Elia Kazan.
