Baby Doll

Seedy, cynical and sensual. Great acting, especially from Baker and Wallach. Small southern US town bigotry, sexual frustration, old world cunning, self-interest, with women downtrodden just a bit less than the black 'helpers' who dot the background, serving almost as a chorus to this comical tragedy. I can't say I liked the characters or cared for them much, yet most of the time I couldn't take my eyes off the screen either.
