Who put Baby in the corner?


Was it Robbie the creep, who may have shown the Houseman’s to their table?

Was it Kellerman? If so, when did he change course over the Houseman’s? He was giving them the red carpet treatment when they arrived. At the end they are sitting in the cheap seats against the wall for the big show.

I suspect it was Kellerman Jr. who was bitter about Baby falling for Johnny over him and his fleet of hotels. Here Baby sit in this dank corner. How you like Johnny now?

The location of the seat was irrelevant. Johnny meant her father put her in the corner. It was symbolic for her being punished for being a bad girl and disobeying him.

her father may have put her in the corner seat. But who assigned them to that bad table?

I was rooting for them when I saw the movie but in real life, I'd probably be very against my daughter (was she still high school age....I can't recall) getting with some club dancer and some guy who sleeps with the guests and seems to have slept with 100 women or so and was much older than my daughter and whom she is sleeping with after a week or so.

I would not like the guy at all.
