What is Mahogany / A New Kind of Love about?

MAHOGANY, 1975, Paramount, 109 min. Tony Richardson began directing this kitschy soap opera but soon got replaced by Ross’ personal Svengali, Motown head Berry Gordy. Diana Ross becomes a supermodel, only to learn from bisexual photographer Anthony Perkins that la dolce vita isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Conflicted Diana falls for straight-arrow politician Billy Dee Williams while traipsing around wearing transcendently awful “creations” (that she actually designed!). With Marisa Mell (DANGER: DIABOLIK). A NEW KIND OF LOVE, 1963, Paramount, 110 min. Dir. Melville Shavelson. Womanizer Paul Newman can’t stand butch fashion buyer Joanne Woodward until she spends an afternoon at Elizabeth Arden -- and comes out looking like a drag queen -- making him go gaga. Between New Look fashion shows, Woodward convinces Newman that she’s an international call girl. The kind of sexist Hollywood bauble that leaves modern audiences gasping.
