My thoughts on rewatch

I recently rewatched Valley of the Dolls (1967) on Criterion blu ray. I was initially disappointed that there are no actual dolls in the film. Not a Cabbage Patch Doll anywhere. Not even a Barbie. Once I got past my initial disappointment at the lack of Cabbage Patches in the film, I enjoyed it. I thought Mark Robson did a good job directing the film. It's a slick, glossy film with a lot of style. I found it entertaining and engaging and I was interested in the characters and the story. I liked the performances. The style of acting here is somewhat heightened and a little on the campy side, but in a good way. The screenplay is interesting and clever, with a sharp wit. I loved the look of the film. It really pops. My rating is an 8/10.
