Anne Welles (Barbara Parkins of Peyton Place) looked like she had a bright future ahead of her. She's just finished post secondary education and is leaving the small town where she has spent the vast majority of her life to move to the biggest of the big cities in hopes of finding a Broadway career. Before she figures fame and fortune will land on her doorstep, however, Anne figures she'll easily find herself a cushy job and a hunky man to help her along the way.

As Anne explores The Big Apple and later hits Hollywood she gets to know the reality of live in the big city and she eventually meets up with Jennifer North (Sharon Tate of Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers) and Neely O'Hara (Patty Duke of The Miracle Worker). These two other women had similar delusions of grandeur when they relocated to New York before Anne made the same fateful decision. Unfortunately, as we soon find out, they're damaged goods as they've been burned one too many times. Jennifer is so jaded that she feels she has nothing to offer anyone but her wonderful body and all the men she chooses to deal with in her life do nothing but affirm this in her mind. On the other hand, Neely, who seems to be poised on the verge of her big break, gets accused of foul play by one of her fellow actresses, Helen Lawson (Susan Hayward in a role originally tailored for Judy Garland who famously walked off the set of the film) – and the accusations might just be legit.

As the these three lives come into contact with one another they all soon begin to spiral out of control – drinking and pill popping gets way out of hand and ultimately though the odds are stacked against them, they are their own undoing. Emotions run hot and tempers flare as the three female leads simply self destruct and things quite honestly stop making a whole lot of sense.

Valley Of The Dolls is a tough film to get a handle on. One on hand, it's a fairly big studio production with slick set design, nice costumes, an interesting cast of 'beautiful people' and a pretty swinging soundtrack (John Williams was Oscar nominated for his work on the film), but on the other hand it almost feels like it was written by a prepubescent girl as a sort of anti-drug film not too far away from the likes of Reefer Madness. The film tries to play itself out as a serious piece, a staunch drama about the perils of fame and the co-relation those same perils have to substance abuse, but it turns out to be so heavy handed and so completely soaked in poorly scripted melodrama that the end result is more of an unintentionally hilarious comedy than anything else. So thick is the over acting and scenery chewing in the film that it literally feels like a parody at times.

Director Mark Robson does a fine job with the pacing in that the movie doesn't suffer from ever being dull or overly long, but there's just so much thrown into the last half of the film that it feels haphazardly strewn together. Certain shots, such as the infamous scene where Tate is doing a certain exercise routine to accentuate her chest, are almost lecherous and creepy and at times things feel very perverse and very ugly despite the fact that we're watching three very attractive women up there on the screen. The interaction that these three ladies have with pretty much any of the men in the film is never anything short of odd, while their interaction with one another becomes increasingly catty and bitter as the story plays out.

The biggest factor in the film is the dialogue (call it success or call it disaster, depending on how you see and/or appreciate the film!). Written by Helen Deutsch and Dorothy Kingsley and based upon the famous best selling novel by Jacqueline Susann, lines like "The only hit that comes out of a Helen Lawson show is Helen Lawson, and that's me, baby, remember?" are delivered with such absolute conviction that you can't help but get sucked into the whole screwball world that has been created with this film. Arguments lead to disaster (or in one specific and famous scene, a de-wigging' that would obviously later influence John Waters) but it's disaster of the fabulous kind. Valley Of The Dolls is big budget trash of the highest order, and unintentionally hilarious and at times quite sublime piece of exploitation movie making masquerading as a serious drama. It works by accident, but it works none the less.

While age hasn't been so kind to the film, Valley Of The Dolls is almost better because of that fact. The melodrama is so completely over the top and the performances so surreal in spots that the movie is one of those 'fabulous disaster' films that can't be planned but instead just sort of seem to happen. Fox has done a fantastic job on this release, it looks and sounds great and comes with a wealth of fun supplements making this two disc collector's edition highly recommended.
