CGiii Comment

Fashion industry meets social comment and Diana Ross wears a gay flag.

The only directing credit that Gordy has - it's not too difficult to see why.....the CONSTANT repetition of the theme song will have you ripping your hair out like a rabid loony - screw political correctness.

What a fucking wasted opportunity - Ross is not bad as an actress, and, when this was made she was absolutely HUGE - she had a great director - Tony Richardson has been linked to this mess - lest he forget...artistic differences?!?

And then, when you think it can't get any worse - it does.

A complete and utter disaster - especially when you realise that this is a black, American version of the Chanel story.
