Featured review
Beautiful but flawed!
The wardrobe and camera work was beautiful,but, the cast had issues. The main one being casting Obba Babatunde' as YOUNG Harold Nicholas! He was close to FIFTY years old! A younger actor should have been used. Halle Berry was great as Dorothy Dandridge,her pain during the diffulcult
scenes was palpable.
scenes was palpable.
