Movie Reviews of These Old Broads
Movie Review: THE GIRLS FROM MGM, PARMOUNT AND FOX SHINE!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a flimsy story, a rather weak and shockingly uninspired Carrie Fisher screenplay. On that alone it should be dismal. But something wonderful happens as "These Old Broads" begins to unreel, four fabulous stars from Hollywood's silver age take the tried old script and turn it into movie magic.
Elizabeth Taylor has the smallest role but turns in a fun and funny characterization complete with a Brooklyn accent. Then there is Joan Collins (Twentieth Century Fox's 1950's answer to MGM's Taylor) who gives us her funniest role since Alexis on "Dynasty" or "Rally Round The Flag Boys". She is over the top as only she can be and it is pure Collins comic gold.
Shirley MacLaine nearly steals she show as a tongue in cheek version of herself. She delivers the comedy and pain required of her role with that gypsy charm and twinkle that are her trademark. But it is Debbie Reynolds who really owns this film. Playing a version of herself she shows that "Tammy" is still unsinkable. She just sparkles and sparks. And in the now famous scene between her and Taylor as they come to grips over "Freddy Hunter" (Eddie Fisher) she is a joy to watch. Touching, tender and wise. That scene is the best Carrie wrote for the film. (Perhaps a catharsis for all three women) For anyone who remembers the Taylor-Fisher-Reynolds scandal it is a treat.
So in the end the film is a tribute to the talent of these women. Taylor is now sadly retired but the other three are still working and showing us that these studio trained actresses are not just fine entertainers. They are still some of the brightest Stars in the Hollywood heavens.
