Product: Postcards from the Edge [VHS] (1990)
Rating: 4.0
There has never been two more phenomenal actresses.
1990, 101 min.Carrie Fisher (Star Wars) penned the novel and wrote the screenplay. Then in 1990 director Mike Nichols made the marvelous decision to put it on the big screen. Now available on your little or not so little, as the case may be, home screen.This cute movie is based on a woman trying to break into show business following her mother's famous shadow.Who doesn't love Shirley MacLaine (Steel Magnolias) who plays the mother or Meryl Streep (Out of Africa) who plays the daughter? Apart they are genius actresses but put them together in a movie! A genius match made in heaven.Dysfunctional, funny and sad.Watch this movie and see the mayhem transpire and lessons learned.BONUS PICKS:*Steel Magnolias and Out of Africa (one of my top 10 picks), both based on true stories, are magical movies with an assortment of complimenting, brilliant actors. One extremely comical and tragic. The other very sad but beautiful.
