Introducing Dorothy Dandridge Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 13 Reviews)

pretty good - fantastic acting
This is a beautiful little film which shows aspects of a tragic story extremely well. Halle Berry is superb as the lovely Dorothy, and I feel the technique of telling the story through her phone call to a friend is very effective. In the end though, I felt more for the manager Earl Mills than for Dorothy - he appeared to be the only man who really cared for her, and the only man who didn't get the chance to love her. The performance by Brent Spiner might have something to do with that - he is so good you don't really notice him at all. I completely forgot he had even been in a certain science fiction show after the first couple of minutes!
This is not a film I would watch regularly - once a year at the most - as it is so serious, but I am definitely glad I have it on the shelf.


this is great
This is a great film. this is a film where you catch halle at her best. If you order this DVD,you won't be sorry.

This movie was pretty good
This is one of probably two movies that I like seeing Halle in. She made a suitable "Dorothy Dandridge." I liked the format of the story: Dot being on the phone with her best friend, while making a collage and we're basically being told a story through the snapshots.

Fascinating story. I've been reading a book on DD written by a man who had contact with her sister...much better than the movie, but nevertheless, the movie is ok for a beginner.
