Living in Tiger Tail County, Mississippi, middle aged Archie Lee Meighan and nineteen year old "Baby Doll" Meighan née McCargo have been married for close to two years. Their marriage is not based on love, but each getting what they want from the other. Their marriage agreement has them consummating their marriage on her twentieth birthday, which is in three days, the act to which Baby Doll is not really looking forward. But she does taunt him and other men with her overt "baby doll" sexuality, the baby doll aspect which she fosters by sleeping in their house's nursery in a crib. Baby Doll's now deceased father allowed the marriage on the stipulation that Archie Lee provide Baby Doll financial security as displayed by the most resplendent house in the south.

第二十九届奥斯卡金像奖最佳女主角提名
1956的片子，直到现在也不过时。这部片子还有另外一个名，叫娃娃新娘，更加直指核心。影片内容看得触目惊心，把一桩完全不存在爱意且男女双方只把对方看成自己的资源或工具的普通婚姻剖析得淋漓尽致，他们缔结婚姻只是因为双方各自的社会需求以及某种身体需要。这俩人其实都不是根本意义上的恶人，但他俩集中了很多普通人性中的弱点，虚荣心也重，女方比男方小，想法相对幼稚一些，而男方也不遑多让，做出了不少既蠢又恶的行为。片子丝毫不掩盖普通人性里的现实丑陋，刻画非常真实，也相当令人难受。如果这在婚姻中是“常态”，或者说被社会默认为婚姻里可以接受的“正常现象”、“磨练”，那婚姻成功率节节下跌倒也很正常。相对善意的人，大概不会愿意再多一个工具人的身份，而相对功利的人只会盘算能从其中得到的好处。
剧本是田纳西·威廉斯所写。 We got nothing to do but wait for tomorrow. And see if we’re remembered or forgotten.
