Brenda is sort of a star

I searched for this for years, sniffing after it's bad reputation. Surprize-it's not that bad. The scenes with the comic strip artist are painful but brief. Most of the action is period 40's and the costumes are fun (Bob Mackie?). Brooke is just gorgeous, of course, and makes a plucky Brenda. Diana Scarwid is her nasty rival and Timothy Dalton her sexy love interest. If this had been done for TV (which it looks like) I think the critics would have been far kinder. If I recall, no one crucified Jill St. John for the 1976 version. This movie is strictly for comic book buffs or Brooke Sheilds fans.CC

Interesting

Let me start off first by saying that this movie is not very good but I would put it against other movies of the same era and say that it is better than average.It certainly doesn't deserve the bad rap that it has gotten over the years and isn't a terrible movie either, however. I'm not sure why so many people hate this film. The direction, writing and acting are all just fine.Brooke Shields looks great and does a fair enough job of playing the main character.The story is also very unique and fun with her literally coming out of the comic strip as a real life character. Maybe the strangeness of that turns some people off.But it's a fun movie and worth seeing... if you can find it that is, it's not super well known or loved!

Pop art movie

Totally enjoyed this. Was it ahead of its time or behind? I think it would have been great in the pop art '60s.Brooke Shields was something like 21 when she filmed this - it wasn't released right away. She is so gorgeous she's all you can look at. And those Bob Mackie outfits! Totally worth the entire film.Seeking a hot story, journalist Brenda travels to the Amazon to find a crazed scientist who supposedly plans to destroy the planet.Brooke does a great job. She's always been more than a fabulous face, as she's proven on Broadway and in her own series. I saw her in person one Thanksgiving- unbelievably tall!Really fun. Too bad it only made $67,000.
