What a wreck of a movie! Camp classic (Valley of the Dolls - so bad it's good, as another comment above aptly points out) it was not. I'm kicking myself all day today for wasting two hours of my life on this thing. Were these actors deliberately trying to sabotage their own careers? My antidote this morning was to waste two more hours (of repeats) on the newest guilty pleasure on TV - The O.C. - which is already starting to veer into "absurdist" territory in its plot lines, the "formula" having simply been tweaked for the present decade. Formula writing is the bane of American TV. This is always where it ends up - a parody of a parody, exhausted and flopping around like a fish on the beach.
