This review is from: Legendary Women on Film (DVD)
VIDTAPE's LEGENDARY WOMEN ON FILM consists of 10 movies on five individually packaged double-sided DVDs. There's several fine actresses here in some of their lesser-known works.
NOTABLES:
CALLIE & SON-- A teenage mom has her newborn taken away and sold on the black market. She goes in search of her boy. TV movie has a solid cast.
GINGER IN THE MORNING-- Recently divorced middle-aged man (Markham) picks up a young hitchhiker (Spacek) and the two become involved.
KILL CRUISE-- Well-done story of the captain of a small boat who's hired by two young women to sail across the Atlantic. Excellent and credible plot twists.
LOVERS AND LIARS-- American actress vacationing in Rome gets mixed up with a married Italian man. Hawn and Giannini see Italy by auto in this somewhat disjointed comedy.
MESMERIZED-- Mail-order bride faces trial for the murder of her sadistic husband.
TWO WOMEN-- Sophia Loren in an atypical non-glamor role. She's a mom with a young teen; they flee to a small village from Rome to avoid WWII, but the war follows them anyway.
WOMEN'S OWN 10 MOVIE SET features Elizabeth Taylor, Olivia Dukakis, Tatum O'Neal, Dolly Parton, Anjelica Huston, and more!
