MAHOGANY

11/18/2010 | No comment

title: MAHOGANY

year: 1975

cast: Diana Ross, Anthony Perkins, Billy Dee Williams

rating: **

Odd pairing of eccentric Anthony Perkins, as a famously flitting photographer, and Diana Ross, as a would-be fashion designer stuck in a nowhere job... Perkins turning Ross into a famous model in Italy... is distracted with Ross's mundane relationship with Billy Dee Williams, a temperamental political climber in the slums of Chicago. "Mahogany" must choose between being Perkin's famous puppet or William's non-famous one. Her final choice is predictable, leading to a dull conclusion.
