Beyond the Forest
Beyond the Forest (1949): A lurid "noir" melodrama that tracks the descent of a petty-bourgeois Madame Bovary-like character, Rosa Moline (Bette Davis) into marital infidelity, murder and a sordid death, the picture has earned a reputation as a "Camp" classic. The film is often cited for providing the phrase "What a dump!", appropriated by playwright Edward Albee in his 1962 "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and its 1966 "screen" adaption.
