baby blue


here is a shot at least two years old. its a screen shot taken from the cinematic masterpiece 'babydoll' directed by elia kazan. this shot features the marvelous karl malden in his role as the desperate archie lee meighan. i love this shot. and as for the reference to 'tiger tail,' i think i have to willingly give mr. tenessee williams credit for that. apparently the movie 'babydoll' was based on a one-act play about some wagons full of cotton. (forgive me if i don't research the specifics right now... its waaaay past my bedtime.) still, i love this shot. even in the tiniest glimpse you have of the whites of his eye, you can almost see the jealousy and vengeance stirring in there.
