Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After reading the reviews about talking heads in this DVD and not enough Bette, I was surprised to see how much stuff had been crammed into this 1 time TV documentary. The talking heads were varied and informative from people most of us all know. From Barry Manilow to her husband Martin. It captures the many faces of Miss M and her unique talent. The complaints I have read about this DVD is that there is not enough showing of her talents in vary shows. Well, if she is the legend they say she is...these shows should not be rare and unheard of but released for all to adore! It is disapointing to not have ALL of her work on DVD or VHS! Especially when they have won awards like her TV specials O'l Red Hair Is Back from 1977 and Diva Las Vegas (both winning Emmys). There were some flaws like the skimming of For The Boys because it was not a box office smash. It came 12 years after the Rose and Mark Rydell did not even mention that Boys won her Golden Globe. Instead they were not sure why it was not a hit, but I can tell you why. In spite of the fact that most people do not like war, it came across as a war movie at a time when the Gulf War was real and people were affiliating From A Distance with that war already! What marketing failed to convey was a great epic that moved through decades of time and war with a relationship between two differnt characters.
This DVD is a brief collection and mostly informative documentary on the life of Bette Midler. I hope there will be other videos to follow such as releasing her Emmy TV Specials and perhaps a music video collection of her hits like I'm Beautiful & To Deserve You (which were number 1 songs on the dance chart for her and not even mentioned here), My One True Friend, One More Cheer, Under The Boardwalk, Wind Beneath My Wings, Night & Day, From A Distance and not to mention her MTV award winner Beast Of Burden with Mick Jagger!
