Review of Mahogany (1975) by Tim C — 09 May 2008
Berry Gordy's love letter to Diana Ross is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. Unfortunately, it's really not supposed to be a comedy. What little story there is is solely a lame excuse to stitch together montage after montage of Diana Ross images.
In fact, I haven't seem this much unabashed admiration for a female lead since Streisand did "The Mirror Has Two Faces". Frankly, the only thing saving this flick from zero stars is Anthony Perkins's ultra-campy performance of the photographer who gives Ross her big break.
While Perkins definitely was over the top, at least he was interesting. The bottom line: avoid this flick unless you have some sort of weird Diana Ross fetish.
