Gilt by Association



He's gilded all o'er to look arty
Guests swill, crying "More!", eating hearty
But the boy daubed in paint
Can't enjoy, soon feels faint
He's killed by blocked pores at the party.

In Bedlam (Mark Robson; 1946), inmates at an insane asylum are made to perform for the callous upper-class. Glenn Vernon plays the Gilded Boy. This was the last in the series of stylish B horror films produced by Val Lewton for RKO.
