Hilarious, tragic, sad, clueless and uber-horny, Malden dives into that role with reckless abandon. His performance plays like a teenage sex comedy recast with a middle-aged man. Whenever I watch Baby Doll, I still crane my head, trying to look around that corner where Kazan stubbornly plants his camera, to see exactly what Archie Lee is attempting to do to Baby Doll in that bubble bath (I assumed it was oral sex, but that's just because I'm a pervert--and Malden's face is covered in suds). <br /><br />I also remember watching Malden on Streets of San Francisco. When I got my American Express card, I looked in the mirror and said Malden's signature commercial line: "Do you know me?" Unfortunately, American Express DID know me. Damn bills.<br /><br />R.I.P.

That said, this is the greatest ensemble in the history of the cinema, and it's sad to see it's last member join the rest of his cast. This was the first movie that made me fall in love with the cinema, and it still remains one of my three favorite movies, so I've always had a soft spot for Mr. MaldenJohn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778817752411507792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-90508149934583071202009-07-02T06:56:20.619-04:002009-07-02T06:56:20.619-04:00May he rest in peace...

I LOVE Streetcar and I worship Brando's Stanley but Bogie had never won (AMPAS seems to think that's enough reason to act crazy), and had lost for some incredible iconic performances like "Casablanca", it's a shame he wasn't even nominated for "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (looking up his awards he was actually pretty snubbed most of the time...).<br />So this was probably their last chance to make it right. He didn't really live that long after this.Notas Sobre Creación Cultural e Imaginarios Socialeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423835555933819338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-88283674447625337082009-07-02T05:00:45.381-04:002009-07-02T05:00:45.381-04:00may he rest in peace
