Movie Reviews of Rich and Famous
Movie Review: Cherchez la Femme
Summary: 5 Stars
My opinion of films (other than horror or sci-fi category) is worthless since based upon the category of the hottie involved (and whether I would like to record or obtain for subsequent viewing). This film has a Category A HR (Hottie Rating). (Note: Provided the A rated hottie is not motioinless throughout, the film may otherwise be a complete "dog".)Movie Review: Rich and Famous (Movie)
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen this movie several times and I am so glad to have it now. This is a story of 2 women who are friends and how their friendship progresses and is tested. Jacquline Bisset's character is my favorite of the two. I relate to her and some of the comments she makes. It's a good moive.Movie Review: Rich and Famous

Movie Review: CLASSIC GUILTY PLEASURE!
Summary: 4 Stars
And what a guilty pleasure it is! Some of the worst dialogue ever written for big stars to utter; scenes that seem to make no sense; big lapses in logic. And yet, it doesn't matter one bit! This movie is so much fun and the actresses are so great to watch that it triumphs over its many weaknesses. The Georges Delerue music is absolutely beautiful (after many years, I found it on a compilation CD of Delerue's collected movie themes), and some of the scenes critics found laughable were actually quite touching. Of particular interest is the scene where Liz Hamilton (the gorgeous Bisset) beds the 18-year-old hustler she picked up on Park Avenue. Rather than being explicit, Bisset takes us into the loneliness of her character and the sadness of her own fading youth, so that the seduction becomes an emotional high point of the movie. Ms. Bergen was a real revelation at the time of the release. Pre-"Murphy Brown", not many took her seriously, even though she had received an Oscar nomination in 1979 for "Starting Over", also a humorous role. But Bergen also gives us more to appreciate than Miriam Hopkins even did in the original "Old Acquaintance". She gives Merry Noel Blake a heart and this makes us care about her even when she is at her most selfish. The men barely register, which was probably the intention. David Selby was a capable actor and does fine by Doug, Merry's overshadowed husband. Hart Bochner is an astonishingly handsome actor (he still is, by the way). His Chris, the Rolling Stone reporter that Liz falls for is more mature than most 22-year-olds, but in the end Liz seems determined to live out the life of the lonely artist. Production values are high, and the movie is a gas to watch. George Cukor, the legendary director of 'women's pictures', may not have been able to count this as one of his classics (like "My Fair Lady") but who cares? You'll certainly have more fun watching this than any number of "serious" films. I've worn out my VHS copy, which I purchased back in 1984, before they started editing it. I hope this DVD will restore the movie back to that condition. It deserves to be seen as Cukor wanted.
