Baby Doll

She´s nineteen. She makes her husband keep away -- she won´t let theistranger go.

Times are tough for cotton-miller Archie (Karl Malden) but at least he has his child-bride (Carroll Baker), who´ll soon be his wife in title and truth. The one-year agreement keeping them under the same roof - yet never in the same bed - is about to end. But a game with a sly business rival (Eli Wallach) is about to begin.

In Baby Doll, as in A Streetcar Named Desire, director Elia Kazan and writer Tennessee Williams broke new ground in depicting sexual situations - earning condemnation by the then-powerful Legion of Decency. They also earned laurels too: four Academy Award nominations, Golden Globe Awards for Baker and Kazan and a British Academy Award for Wallach. Watch this funny, steamy classic that, as Leonard Maltin´s Movie Guide proclaims, "still sizzles."
