Fuzzy and Buzzy, 12 November 1998
Author: Eugene Kim (gene_kim@earthlink.net) from Arlington, Virginia, USA

The conventional wisdom on "Baby Doll" seems to be, "Oh, this movie may have been steamy in its time, but it's totally tame now." Oh, really? If the scene of Eli Wallach and Carroll Baker on the garden swing doesn't leave you feeling "fuzzy and buzzy," I suggest you get your pulse checked.
