Mahogany (DVD, 2005, Widescreen Collection)

I saw this movie when I was young loved it, and wanted to see it when ever I wanted. Diana is the best there is.

It was an okay film for its time. I bought it because It was mentioned in Ms Ross,s autobiography. Diana could've done a better job with the models costumes. They had an outlandish Arabian nights feel to them. I didn't think that the end of the film was realistic. Mahogany had an incredibly generous benefactor who fortunately didn't ravage, maim or kill her in when Mahogany didn't pay her debt.

After their brilliant pairing in "Lady Sings the Blues," Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams were re-united in this movie which emphasizes both their talents. Diana sings "Do You Know Where You're Going To" and models fabulous clothes like a supermodel, and Billy Dee Williams seeks her company and tries to get elected in Chicago.

The fundamental theme of this movie is that it is lonely at the top. But when Tracy Chambers (Diana Ross) is down and out in Chicago and barely making ends meet, seeking a career designing clothes looks like a winner. She is peddling her designs while working as a secretary to Miss Evans (Nina Foch) in a Chicago department store when the movie starts. She meets Brian Walker (Billy Dee Williams) while he is campaigning for alderman and is attracted to him. But NOTHING is going to stop her from pursuing her dream.

Enter Sean Mc Avoy (Anthony Perkins), who rescues Tracy from her secretarial job and invites her to Rome, Italy to begin a career as a model. As the movie proceeds, he becomes as psychotic as his role in "Psycho." Enter Christian (Jean Pierre Aumont), who again saves Tracy and gives her the chance to design and model.

This movie is big on modeling and clothes, which do not seem out of fashion even now. The credits to the movie list Diana Ross for designing all the clothes in the movie.

Also the theme song resonates throughout. It was nominated for an Oscar in 1975.

If you love Diana Ross especially or love clothes and fashion, this movie is for you. You will especially enjoy the ending.

thanks for tha fast shipping... dvd came in great condition,,,thanks again.
i would buy from you again.

It's a classic! I loved the pair between Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams. I decided to buy it as a collectors item.

This did puts Diana Ross at her best. I have a cd, 8 track, and a record.
Her song, "Do You Know Where You Are Going to?" as they say,"it's off the charts" I hope that all who buy this dvd, will enjoy it as much as I have

This movie is one I can watch over and over. It was in excellent condition and the service was outstanding.Thank you

I SEARCHED FOR YEARS TO FIND THIS MOVIE ON DVD. I WAS VERY HAPPY ABOUT EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS DVD . THE PRICE, THE QUALITY, AND THE FAST DELIVERY. I AM SO PROUD TO ADD THIS TO MY MOST TREASURED LIST OF DVD'S

I haven't watched this movie in a few years, but I bought it because at the time I first say the movie in the theatre I felt it was a good movie. It touches on the stresses of being in fame and what women have to go through just to get ahead at it. This is based more on the 1970's. I believe Donna Summer may have had experienced some of what happens in this movie in her real life experiences. At least this is what was said when the movie first came out. I never took the time to look into it. Anyways, if you are from the clubbing, disco era, I believe you will enjoy this. It will bring you back in time. I hope you enjoy the movie.

The movie arrived quickly---I love the movie and have watched it several times. it was in new condition as advertised and would order from this seller again.

One of my wifes favorite movies. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
