Review of Valley of the Dolls (1967) by Adam P — 15 May 2009
Okay, I read the book first. And I HATED it. I thought it was plodding, self-important, and downright boring. The characters are flat as linoleum and there was no emotional heart. I only saw the movie because it is pretty iconic and I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.
Sharon Tate was GORGEOUS. One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, made even more so by her tragic true life (those damn Mansons). The final scene with Patty Duke in the ally has got to be one of the most enjoyably ridiculous moments in film.
"GOD WHY! OH NELLY WHY! GOD! NELLY!! OH GOD!!" Regardless, the movie is just as crappy as the book. Thank heavens it's not 400 pages long.
