This DVD documentry does'nt cover anything already known about Dorothy Dandridge.
The clips and narration seem cheaply put together and the video quality is very poor. However, it does provide some rare movie clips that may not have been shown before. If you just looking for more stuff about Dorothy to own then I would suggest it, otherwise it is not a good purchase.

It's all been said before, although there are a couple of new numbers missing in the Passport original. When will someone retrieve Dorothy's showstopping nightclub scene from "Remains to be Seen" (1953) and share it with her adoring fans like me?

If you are a Dorothy Dandridge fan, you are going to like this movie although there may be very little content that you have not seen elsewhere. This movie seems to have been put together and edited quickly for distribution. I believe if more thought and patience would have gone into the creative process of splicing and editing, this would be a much better visual presentation of the Magnificent Dottie D. However, buy this movie anyway as a tribute (and you will if you are a true fan), for the beautiful daughter, actress, wife, mother and trailblazer that is Dorothy Jean Dandridge from Cleveland, Ohio.
