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 from the then-powerful Legion of Decency.

A very controversial film in its time, and to be honest, there is little to be surprised about. In one scene, there is a great leading actress only covered with a towel! But it's not just about that; it's also about her poses, which are truly sexy even for our time. It slightly resembles Lolita in some aspects, but above all, it shows how a man is capable of essentially going mad for a woman.
