About This Item
London, England : Penguin Books and Secker and Warburg, 1968. Soft cover. Very Good. In Very Good Used Condition. No Highlighting And No Writing. With Minor Wear/Tear to Edges and/or Corners. For More Information On Condition Please See All Photos. - The film of Baby Doll was produced and directed by Elia Kazan in 1956 from the screen-play contained in this volume - the original one written by Tennessee Williams. The Daily Telegraph called it "a work of art - an absorbing study in frustration and poverty and racial intolerance", and The Times: "That rare thing, a film script which makes easy and vivid reading." John Osborne said of it: "Williams has hit off the American Girl-Woman of the last hundred years... Make no mistake about it - this Baby Doll kid is a killer." Something Unspoken and Suddenly Last Summer were staged together under the title Garden District in 1958. The former is a humorous little vignette of the social manoeuvres of a wealthy Southern spinster. The latter, which was later scripted and filmed, is an intense and moving study of madness, of a man's escape from a mother-fixation, and of the revenge planned by the mother for the girl who liberated him and witnessed the final drama of his death.
