Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1.5/4 --
The newfound envelope-pushing in cinema, tested so brilliantly in 1967 by Bonnie and Clyde and The Graduate, is botched here.

Creative Loafing
A must-watch even if the movie had nothing else going for it, which happily, it does.
Full Review
Refinery29
It's an unbelievably hackneyed and mawkish mish-mash of backstage plots and Peyton Place adumbrations.

New York Times
Jacqueline Susann's 'exposé' of Hollywood gets the cliché-ridden treatment it deserves from Robson.
Full Review
Time Out
Valley of the Dolls rose from the ashes to become a so-bad-it's-good cult film of the highest order.
Full Review
Senses of Cinema
Parkins and Tate, the latter particularly good, suffer from under-emphasis in early reels, and corny plot resolution.
Full Review
Variety
Too dull even to function as camp.

Product Description:
An inarguable high watermark of modish Hollywood camp, rent from the deliciously pulpy eponymous novel by Jacqueline Susann. Three ambitious young women from different walks of life suffer through the show business meat grinder: an aspiring Broadway diva battles with addiction, a reluctant bombshell makes "art" movies to eke out a living for her ailing husband, and a sensible small-town girl turns modeling sensation. Sudsy, irresistible, and loaded with scenery-chewing, particularly in the memorable scene where a hysterical Duke cries to her pills, "My dolls! My beautiful dolls!" Academy Award Nominations: Best (Adapted) Score.
