Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

prfrbr48 Even tho miss Ross is credited with the costumes designs for this film. The fashion show sequence was a ripoff. The kabuki gowns and her purple costume for the fountain scene were direct direct ripoffs from the famous and great ERTE. The late Russian artist. Her gold kabuki gown was horrid her design. The multi colored pleated gown was OK. But no earth shaker. The white Galitzan gown look terrible on her. She was to thin for that look. As a fashion picture this film has much to be desired. She did wear some nice things in the film. But not sure if she had a hand in those also. I know some designers like be difficult to work with. But her scene where she was berating the seamstress. Made me angry you get nothing from yelling at people who don't understand your language. I would have clocked her if she spoke to me that way. lol Evan Divas have to come down off the pedestals sometime.

preppy-3 Easily one of the worst blaxploitation movies to come out in the 1970s. Diana Ross plays Tracy a poor black woman who hopes to become a famous fashion designer. She meets handsome Brian (Billy Dee Williams) a political activist. They fall in love (of course) but then she meets a famous fashion photographer named Sean (Anthony Perkins). He wisks her away to Rome to model fashions and she immediately becomes world famous (just like real life). She starts designing her own fashions but discovers success means nothing without having someone you love to share it with. It all leads to a ridiculously predictable finale.What's wrong with this movie? Except for the beautiful title song ("Do You Know Where You're Going To") everything! It's badly written with tons of stupid lines. The direction is just dreadful--scenes are badly shot AND edited! The fashions are hilariously ugly (but this was the 1970s so...). The acting is hopeless--Perkins just redoes his "Psycho" role again, Ross (who proved she could act) looks lost and Williams walks through his role. Just tune in for the opening credits (for the song) then turn it off. Predictable, stupid and largely forgotten. A 1 all the way.

edwagreen Love the Oscar nominated song-Do You Know Where You're Going to? It is sung as the theme throughout this film.I was expecting a Diana Ross performance as I saw in her nominated "Lady Sings the Blues" of 1972. Unfortunately, I didn't get that. In fact, much of the supporting cast lives up to the word mahogany as they are quite wooden here. Jean Pierre Aumont, always capable, of throwing wonderful performances as in "Sins," Nina Foch, as Ross's boss, and Beah Richards as Aunt Florence, are really quite stiff here.The picture belongs to Billy Dee Williams as a Barack Obama-like Chicago organizer, who is the endearing part of Ross's life. Other then some temper tantrums, Ross could have better job here. He sees politics as related to all in life and his performance shows it as well.Anthony Perkins is an older extension with his boyish looks from the Bates Motel. He really goes over-the-top here as a fashion photographer off his rocker.The theme is that success and money can't buy everything. What else is new?

mrcaw1 You've got to know when to take a movie seriously and when not to. This is definitely a film not to take seriously. You don't watch this movie for the plot you watch it for the 70s retro look. The over the top fashions, some designed by Diana Ross herself are hysterical and totally fun to check out. Anthony Perkins has never been better in this over the top performance of one very strange photographer who can't quite decide whether to make the moves on Diana Ross or her 70s superstar smooth as hot chocolate boyfriend Billy Dee Williams. And how about that hit single, Do You Know Where You're Going To being played throughout the movie? This movie plays like one long Carol Burnett show spoof. Funky, and fine and oh so 70s. You gotta check it out!
