Hated Films From a Baytown Editor’s Youth
Wanda Orton recalls movies she could not endure from childhood to adulthood. The list includes The Hunchback of Notre Dame at the Yale Theater in Houston, The Ox Bow Incident at the Bay Theater, I Want to Live at Brunson, and Tennessee Williams adaptations A Streetcar Named Desire and Suddenly Last Summer, plus Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Elvis Presley’s Love Me Tender. She frames these as strong dislikes despite critical acclaim and notes her later squeamishness as a police reporter.
