After Thoughts

Wow! What a movie! I didn't know what to expect going into this. But I didn't expect for Valley Of The Dolls to be this good!!! I saw this movie in the Criterion Collection and wanted to check it out since it starred Sharron Tate, and being a true crime nerd, plus having loved Margo Robbie's performance of Sharron Tate in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, I knew I was only doing myself a disservice having not seen a Tate film. I really did love her performance in this movie and thought she did a great job of giving a sobering performance. It was almost haunting. But the surprise of the movie was seeing Patty Duke as one of the staring characters. I felt her character stole the show. Really really enjoyed it.

This movie is worth seeing for one beautiful reason

This movie truly is badly done and campy. However, there is one good reason to watch it: Sharon Tate. She was truly one of the screen's all time beauties (if you disagree at first, name someone prettier =)She is not a bad actress either and did her best with the forced, artificial dialog. Overall the movie has virtually no suspense or drama or tension it just chugs along predictably with one badly written scene after another. Then all of sudden Wham! Sharon appears and you stop caring about the worthless "plot" and watch her. She steals all her scenes and makes the other actresses invisible.All in all its a bittersweet vehicle for an extraordinarily lovely woman who met a very violent and tragic end.

Better Than User Comments Suggest

In spite of the harsh user comments regarding this film, it is an entertaining and thought provoking late 1960's film. The criticism of Patty Duke's performance seems to me to be at least somewhat unfair and exaggerated. In my opinion, she does an admirable job with her character and handles the role of a star who is struggling with the pressures of fame. It is really quite uncomfortable to watch this film in the present day, if one already is keenly aware of the horrible fate that is in store for Sharon Tate, at the hands of Charles Manson's drugged-out groupies. Not a great film, but much better than the users here would have you believe.
