The 20 Year Old Dorothy Dandridge, 11 April 2002
Author: The Novelist from London, England

Although this was a dull film, the 20 year old Dorothy Dandridge was outstanding in this token production for marginalised performers. It was good to get Dandridge alongside of Susan Hayward, but as a self contained film it was diabolical.
