Overview:
Based on Jacqueline Susann's landmark mega-bestseller, this rags-to-bitches exposé of how Broadway singer Patty Duke, sex starlet Sharon Tate and demure model Barbara Parkins claw their way to Hollywood success on the boozy, pill-popping fame express heading for inevitable derailment is one of the all-time great, and most beloved, trash movies. Every backstabbing line is a classic ("Ted Casablanca is not a fag and I'm the dame who can prove it!") and every glitzy showbiz second is an over-the-top hyper-cliché (the wig-pulling catfight between Duke and the Ethel Merman-esque Susan Hayward) in director Mark Robson's fabulously camp extravaganza. Duke outrageously chews the scenery as diva monster (becoming a gay icon in the gutter-crawling process) and the moment she sings a tearful duet with terminally ill Tony Scotti in a mental ward takes this irresistibly tacky spectacle into quintessential Bad Movie Heaven.
