They’re young, beautiful and full of dreams. Soon, they will see their expectations fall short, become victims of substance abuse and live on the dark side of fame. Elbow-deep into the gritty reality of show business, they will fight until the very end to maintain their innocence... Just as pompous as the plot synopsis you just finished reading, the on-screen version of «Valley of the Dolls» - faithfully adapted from Jacqueline Susann’s best-selling novel – turns the leading trio’s desperate attempts to achieve celebrity status into a sultry soap opera full of amusing cliches replicated ad infinitum, life lessons with no teacher, unforgettable one-liners and indescribably outrageous scenes that deserve to be immortalized in their own private pantheon. A huge box office success at the time, Mark Robson’s film is still held in high regard by those who can appreciate the indisputable value of first-rate trash. L.K.

A touch of camp: The charm of being over-the-top

Mommie Dearest

Few people in movie history have reached the camp heights of Joan Crawford, except maybe Faye Dunaway on the year she was asked to portray Crawford on the big screen. In an unprecedented crescendo of acting hysteria, out-of-control facial expressions and all-around neurosis more suited to horror films that drama, Dunaway interprets the fallen Hollywood star like a female boogeyman on killer heels instead of the subject of an official biography.

Myra Breckinridge

This is the outrageous story of Myra Breckinridge, a gorgeous transsexual who gets a sex change operation and heads out to Hollywood to teach a few of its most arrogant inhabitants a thing or two about acting.

Pillow Talk

Mistaken identities, charming misunderstandings, romantic mishaps, fabulous dresses, immaculate suits, cosmopolitan atmosphere and sexually suggestive humor are the basic ingredients that made the first pairing between popular screen couple Rock Hudson and Doris Day not just a box office success but the pinnacle of gleaming Technicolor and high-end Hollywood froth.

The Shanghai Gesture

Thick clouds of opium waft over a tempestuous story of decadence, seduction and debauchery, camouflaged as a sexually charged, highly operatic melodrama. Based on a script that suffered countless rewrites in an attempt to tone down the explicit nature of the material, the film sees the mysterious female owner of a bustling Shanghai casino (the unforgettably vamp-like Ona Munson) hatch a devious revenge scheme, involving a British soldier, his drug-prone daughter and the Machavelian young doctor who's trying to corrupt her.
