Only Home?

[edit]

"It was filmed in Benoit, Mississippi, in an antebellum home, the only one in Mississippi's Bolivar County." How can that make sense? How can it be that before the Civil War, nobody in Bolivar County had a home? Unfree (talk) 15:41, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

18+

[edit]

I just recorded this off TCM and the description says it has an 18+ rating. Seems odd for a movie from the fifties. Is this a mistake? 14+ seems more realistic. 174.92.134.166 (talk) 23:28, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Etc. …

[edit]

Obviously, a point of the film is Baby Doll turning 18. Yet if you look at the drive-in advertisement, it reads, “She’s nineteen”. Kind of let’s the air out of the plot!

And… noteworthy or not … the film was satirized as “Doll Baby”, in the Harvey Kurtzman magazine “Humbug”. (Issue No.1 , August 1957). 75.106.32.81 (talk) 17:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
