Baby Doll (1956)

In director Elia Kazan's scandalous, pot-boiling, condemned and censored film (for its time) by the Legion of Decency:

• the first sensational image of white-trash, 19 year-old 'baby doll' child bride "Baby Doll" Meighan (Oscar-nominated Carroll Baker) sucking her thumb in a childlike crib while being spied upon through a hole in the adjoining wall by sexually-frustrated husband Archie (Karl Malden)
• vengeful Sicilian Silva Vacarro's (Eli Wallach in his screen debut) numerous seduction scenes of Baby Doll - in the back seat of a rusty, wheel-less Pierce-Arrow, in a double-seated swing in the yard, in an adjoining room where he kissed her under a switched-off bare bulb as Archie spoke on the phone nearby, and at the stark dinner table when they shared hunks of bread dipped in raw greens
• Baby Doll's trip to town with Archie and her demands for an ice cream cone
• in the child's nursery - the memorably lewd sight of Vacarro mounting and sitting astride a small wooden hobby horse - rhythmically rocking back and forth on the tiny toy whose head was hardly visible between his legs - he playfully gyrated back and forth to the raunchy accompaniment of the rock song "Shame on You"
• Vacarro's attempt in the attic to get Baby Doll to sign papers against her husband regarding arson
