\\u201cDolls\\u201d mean pills. \\xa0There, now that we\\u2019ve gotten that out of the way... Mark Robson\\u2019s epic movie about three women finding their ways through the obstacle-ridden world of entertainment, offers a soapy and campy take on ambition and those living in the orbit of successful women. \\xa0Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, and Sharon Tate protagonize against a series of professional rivals, embattled romances, addictions, medical calamities, and oh-so-many personal demons to reach both dizzying highs and devastating lows in this 1960s classic(?).

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Bob Fosse\\u2019s\\xa0All That Jazz\\xa0(1979).
