You know, I really did try to cut this off-kilter, 1962, melodrama about serious family dysfunction some slack..... But - I'm tellin' ya - Warren Beatty's white-trash, womanizing character - Berry-Berry Willart was so utterly vile and despicable that he made Marlon Brando's Stanley Kowalski character (from "A Streetcar Named Desire") look like an adorable sweetheart by comparison.
And, what made the Berry-Berry character even more revolting was that (left, right, and centre) women were literally throwing themselves at him. And, even after being humiliated and slapped around, they were still coming back for more.... (Sheesh!).... It was enough to make my skin crawl!
And, speaking about the name Berry-Berry - I can't begin to tell you how annoying it was having to hear this demented name being repeated, over and over again, throughout All Fall Down's 2-hour running time.
I mean, who (in their right mind) would name their kid Berry-Berry?.... It sounds like some kind of a disease to me.... Can you just imagine (as a child) all the teasing that Berry-Berry would have had to endure on account of his name?
