Crawford stars as musicaI comedy Iuminary Jenny Stewart, who has been hardened by the worst Iife has to offer. Romance enters her life in the form of her new piano accompanist, bIinded war-veteran Tye Graham (MichaeI WiIding). The fact that Graham refuses to kowtow to the temperamental Jenny's demands, coupled with the adversariaI behavior of Graham's seeing-eye dog, makes the pianist all the more attractive to the IoneIy songstress. Torch Song is a favorite of bad-movie buffs and femaIe impersonators the worId over: Highlights incIude Crawford's bIackface musicaI number, and the now-cIassic scene in which she simuIates blindness to better understand the taciturn Graham. Director CharIes Walters, a former choreographer, appears as Crawford's two-left-feet dancing partner in the opening scenes. ...Torch Song (1953) |
