	Dolores Claiborne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dolores Claiborne (1993) is a novel by Stephen King, which was adapted into a 1995 film starring Kathy Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
		As the story begins, Dolores Claiborne is in a police interrogation and wants to make clear to the police that she did not kill her wealthy employer, an elderly woman named Vera Donovan whom she has looked after for years.
		Dolores, eventually persuades Selena that she had no choice but to do the things she did, and that they were both victims of Joe St. George: the ever-more abusive husband that he was towards his wife Dolores, and the child molester of their daughter Selena.

	Dolores Claiborne
		Whether Dolores is describing her husband's intoxicated behavior or Vera's insufferable ways, the reader is swept along helplessly with the flow and ebb of her emotions.
		Expressing himself in a colloquial manner as Dolores is wont to do, King deliberately misspells to bring his Constant Reader a little closer to hearing Dolores' own voice as he reads her story.
		Although Dolores Claiborne is a clear step away from the traditional trappings of a mainstream horror novel --the monsters, the ghosts and the depraved killers-- there is an obvious sense of horror that pervades the story.

	Spirituality & Health: Movie Review: Dolores Claiborne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Dolores Claiborne is a riveting screen adaptation of a 1992 Stephen King novel.
		Kathy Bates puts in a towering performance as Dolores Claiborne, a feisty, long-suffering, Maine mother who has spent most of her life working as a housekeeper for Vera (Judy Parfitt), a rich, domineering, and finicky woman.
		Dolores Claiborne speaks volumes about the subjugation of women and the hellish nightmare of living in a dysfunctional family.

	'Dolores Claiborne'
		At the beginning of the film, which is set on a rocky island off the coast of Maine, Dolores (Kathy Bates) is arrested for the murder of her employer (the awesome Judy Parfitt), a wealthy old biddy from whom she has taken orders for the past quarter century.
		This is especially true of the relationship between mother and daughter, who throughout the picture scrap and bicker over the past, with Selena blaming Dolores for her ravaged, booze-and-pill-addicted life.
		As the long-suffering Dolores, Bates might have been an insufferable martyr, sacrificing everything to save Selena from the strenuous life she has been forced to lead.

	Stephen King-Mile
		Written simultaneously and published in the same year as Gerald’s Game, the novel Dolores Claiborne is taking place on Long Tall Island, in the year 1992 and, of course in 1963.
		Dolores is working in the house of Vera Donovan, a rich old woman, sitting most of the time in a wheelchair and annoying her servants.
		Dolores Claiborne is rather a whodunit than a classic horror-story, and Stephen King proves us once again that he is not only a very good horror-author.

		"Dolores Claiborne", which tells the story of a woman (Kathy Bates) who has become a murder suspect for the second time, is yet another film based on a Stephen King story.
		This one finds the title character half-heartedly defending herself against a police investigation which seeks to prove she killed the woman for whom she was acting as a nurse and maid.
		Not coincidentally, this investigator was the one who tried and failed to convict Dolores 20 years earlier for the murder of her husband (David Straithairn).

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Dolores Claiborne \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Dolores Claiborne," the latest Stephen King horror-thriller to be adapted to film, is actually more of a semi-thrilling melodrama, the story of an extremely dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship.
		When Dolores is arrested on suspicion of murder, her daughter, a prominent New York magazine journalist named Selena St. George, is summoned home — home being a dreary small town on an island near Bangor, Maine.
		Dolores takes the abuse up to a certain point but also lets Joe know that she has her limits, and she'll go to any lengths to protect her young daughter (with Selena being played by Ellen Muth in the childhood scenes).

	'Dolores Claiborne'
		Last year, there was a good Freddy Krueger movie, called "Wes Craven's New Nightmare." And this year -- at least in the case of "Dolores Claiborne" -- the phrase "Based on a novel by Stephen King" should not be considered a warning.
		Best of all is Bates, as the eponymous Claiborne, a hard-slogging widow, mother and housemaid living on a remote Maine island, who has abided the tyranny of her imperious, rich boss Vera (Judy Parfitt) for decades.
		At the beginning of the movie, we see Bates apparently at the end of her tether: There is a scuffle between two figures at the top of a staircase.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Dolores Claiborne (xhtml)
		Under a gray and brooding sky, Stephen King's Maine brings forth yet another labyrinthine tragedy in "Dolores Claiborne." This is a horror story, all right, but not a supernatural one; all of the elements come out of such everyday horrors as alcoholism, wife beating, child abuse and the sin of pride.
		We in the audience have already seen the fatal event, in the title sequence, and it sure did look like Dolores pushed that poor old lady down the stairs, and then was fixing to bash her head in with a marble rolling pin, just when the mailman interrupted the crime.
		Dolores worked for ages for the old lady, a perfectionist named Vera Donovan (Judy Parfitt), who demanded "six clothespins, not five" on every sheet, and wanted them hung outside on the line, even in deepest winter.

		Dolores is a tough and gritty woman and much of the story recounts her dealing with the stern and often cruel woman that she works for during a thirty plus year time span, her abusive husband and the towns rumors that she might be a murderer.
		Knowing that she will be accused of the death of Vera Donovan, her bitchy and mean former employer, Dolores Claiborne turns herself into the police and relates to them the story of her relationship with Vera as well as the details surrounding the death of her husband almost thirty years prior.
		Told completely by Dolores and with very little of the supernatural twists and turns we've come to expect from him, Stephen King crafts a remarkable portrait of a woman struggling with an abusive husband, his impact on their family, and of life on Little Tall Island just across the Reach from the mainland.

		Now, nearly two decades later, Dolores stands accused of killing her invalid employer and, although the evidence is entirely circumstantial, Mackey is determined to get a conviction.
		Dolores' daughter Selena (Ellen Muth at age 13; Jennifer Jason Leigh at age 31), a reporter living in New York city, receives a fax of an article in a Bangor newspaper detailing her mother's suspected involvement in Vera's death.
		Dolores is a sad, lonely survivor who has, perhaps unjustly, endured a lifetime of misery.

		But, along with the great adaptations of The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and Misery, Dolores Claiborne is an exception to the rule, that rule being that if you change the story to drastically, it will erase any possibility of the movie turning out as a fan would expect it to.
		However, it should be mentioned that Dolores Claiborne is far from being a fast paced movie, some perhaps would even consider it to be tedious, but it is the nature of the story that demands this pacing.
		Dolores Claiborne is a unique character and about as rich of one as Stephen King has ever created in any of his many works.

		King's novel was a dexterous stunt, a first-person monologue by Dolores that exposed the soul and wit of a woman and the harsh Maine existence that formed her.
		Though Dolores is not indicted in that murder, 20 years later she is accused of killing Vera Donovan (Judy Parfitt), her tyrant employer.
		Leigh is a fiercely intelligent actress, but her role is a clunky contrivance to give Dolores a sounding board and unearth memories Selena has buried about her dirty daddy.
