| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDavis excels as the passionate but stranded housewife who describes her suffocating community as "a two train a day town." The expression What a Dump, which Liz Taylor repeats in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf comes from this Vidor-directed melodrama. |
| User ReviewDusty H"If I dont get outa here I'll Die! If I don't get outa here I hope I die!" LOL |
| User ReviewValerie GInitially very eager to watch this movie when it came out on vhs tape for the camp factor and the priceless lines (my favorite is "If I don't get out of here I'll die. If I don't get out of here I hope I'll die") I loved every minute of it, by the second third of its length, this becomes quite a dark movie and the imagery and metaphors are quite clear, making it really interesting to watch. Bette Davis looks great, for once actually dressing like a sexual woman, though still refusing to wear a bra... |
| User ReviewJona C"What A Dump!" Love it! Classic Bette. |
| User ReviewMackenzie SBette Davis hated this film with a passion, but I thought she was good. She does say one of the great lines in film history. "What a dump" |
| User ReviewGregory WWild lurid junk with Bette consuming whole portions of the scenery whole to try and save it. |
| User ReviewStella DSuperbe film ! Bette Davis y est fantastique, comme toujours. Elle use d'une palette de caractères très riche pour servir un rôle de femme qui ne cesse d'être en quête d'autre chose. A VOIR !!! |
| User ReviewOrlok WBette Davis kindles trash into an inferno--How to spice up life in a small town!! |
| User ReviewLanfranco CDid this become a cult only because of that one line? I found it boring. Bette Davis was cool though. |
