been talking a lot about all those torrid '50s-early '60s melodramas i ate up in my youth, stuff like splendor in the grass and rebel without a cause and douglas sirk and miller- and albee- and o'neill- and williams-based adaptations (and not the same era mind, but picnic at hanging rock too). so of course, this is fitting. morrissey was obviously always affected by these things too (all those references to elizabeth smart's love affair memoirs! and shelagh delaney's adolescent pregnancy plays...).
