Favorite Movie of all time????
D,
I love the movie because of the inner woven relationships of all the characters. The two mothers and two daughters. One mother is a protagonist while her daughter is the antagonist AND its the opposite for the other two. The little twist of the forbidden love....makes it interesting as well. The acting was superb by all actors. The icing on the cake of course was Mahalia Jackson singing Trouble of the World....gets me every time. Now while I was happy to see Sarah Jane be remorseful at the end....I still get an urge to just jump through the screen and put my size 10 up her arse!!! because its TOO dayum late.....aaaahhhh that's a good movie for you when in the heat of the moment...you forget!

As a macho, manly man, I hate to admit having seen all these films (lol).
Valley of the Dolls, eh? Which version?
To Sir With Love. Nice film. Another example of Mr. Poitier's character gaining all sorts of respect despite being the only black man in the cast.
Raisin in the Sun..ur right about the P.D version. I saw it on Broadway. Everyone BUT him was excellent. YUCH. He acts like he raps. lol.

I think you thinking of "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", which was the Russ "Bazoongas" Meyers film. That's the movie where just about every woman in it was sporting at least a 46 FF size bra.
The movie "Valley of the Dolls" movie was lame to me.
Go figure!
