Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Baby Doll is a 1956 black comedy drama film, written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Elia Kazan. The film starred Carroll Baker, Karl Malden and Eli Wallach, and was Wallach's first theatrical film.Nineteen-year-old Baby Doll (Baker) is married to failing cotton businessman Archie Lee Meighan (Malden), but she's saving herself for her twentieth birthday. She acts like a child and consciously sleeps in a crib while sucking her thumb.Archie Lee is in debt and their furniture is being moved away because of it. It's worse for him when Sicilian Silva Vacarro (Wallach) moves into town with a booming business. Jealous, Archie Lee burns down Vacarro's gin. Vacarro is bent on revenge so he seduces Baby Doll...The film was banned in the United States for twenty years because it was too scandalous for the time, even though it earned Eli Wallach a Golden Globe Award, and Carroll Baker an Academy Award nomination. The film is credited with originating the name and popularity of the babydoll nightgown.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Baby Doll / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Both Archie Lee and Silva to a degree. Archie Lee is abusive and a pervert, but he gets no respect from his workers, his wife is drifting away from him already and he's in debt because of his bad luck. Silva is cunning and conniving, but held no malice towards Archie Lee before his gin was burned down, and faces prejudice in Mississippi for being a "wop" (racial slur for Italian or Sicilian); he takes justice into his own hands because if he testified against Archie Lee, he'd lose easily because he's a foreigner. | |
