Baby Doll (Twenty-Seven Wagon Loads of Cotton) (1956)

Watched in 2021: Movies (152 movies items)

" Director: Elia Kazan His 12th Movie. My 8th movie watched from the director. This is so Tennessee Williams. The dialogue, the characters, the innate feeling of depression. He has perfected such a story. It's a different route for Kazan but he helms it successfully, directing the three leads to be characters and performances rarely seen by 1956. Some of the editing choices are questionable and the cinematography is too average to really consider this high cinema. I would rank it in "

" This film has most everything I like and present it in such a unique way. First of all the whole waiting to break the girl's virginity 'thing' is so hot and perverse at the same time but then this dark villain comes along, this foreigner who threatens to taste the forbidden fruit before the gardener who has looked after the green tree until it is just ripe. Damn good. "
