The 28 Year Old Dorothy Dandridge, 11 April 2002
Author: The Novelist from London, England

The struggling 28 year old Dorothy Dandridge continued to pad out her c.v. and pay her bills by acting in this dull film. In the past, I would have said that she was lucky to be offered a role in films at her age, but now I can see that she suffered for her art.
