Description: | Select Guide Rating Contains stories such as "Baby Doll" and "Something Unspoken". Tennessee Williams''s controversial Hollywood screenplay Baby Doll opens with Archie Lee''s teenage bride driving him to distraction, as she has refused to consummate their marriage until the day of her twentieth birthday. Enter wily Sicilian Silva Vaccaro, Archie''s rival both in the cotton business and for the affections of the flirtatious Baby Doll, and things reach breaking-point. This volume also contains Something Unspoken, a brilliantly comic study of a wealthy, manipulative Southern spinster, and Summer and Smoke, a sexually charged portrayal of Alma, a sensitive, unmarried minister''s daughter, and her childhood love, the wild, sensual doctor''s son John. |
