Valley of the Dolls

3 reviews

A fascinating soap opera loosely based on Jacqueline Susann's novel and updated for the 1990's.

This syndicated soap (which tried to push the current boundaries for nudity on television, especially when it comes to males) was test-marketed for 13 weeks in selected cities, including Boston and Atlanta. The combining of the original plotline with 90's sensibilities, along with warping a few relationships (Helen Lawson, who in the movie and novel was a huge Broadway star for whom Jennifer North appeared as a showgirl is now Jennifer's mother and a movie star!) New World basically cancelled the project before it was aired, but those original 13 weeks were adult soap opera at it's most interesting. Of special note is that I believe this soap was the first portrayal of a functioning and healthy gay relationship between two men. Ahead of it's time, I hope this show doesn't disappear into oblivion.

Ahead of its time

Not very good in terms of acting or story but VERY adult and frank. It aired here in Boston at 11:30 at night for only a few months. I was REALLY surprised at some scenes--especially the extensive male nudity. There was one shot where a guy got out of bed totally nude and casually walked out of the room...and the camera never looked away. From what I remember, there was no frontal but just showing the guys butts was surprising for TV. I wouldn't mind seeing a DVD release of this. If they can do "The Dukes of Hazard" they can do this! The previous poster mentioned a positive gay relationship in this. I honestly don't remember that but that's just one more reason this should be available.
