After years of begging and pleading from lovers of high camp everywhere, 20th Century Fox has finally relented and released a special-edition DVD of the over-the-top 1960s cult classic "Valley Of The Dolls."

Nothing tops the trashy plot, glorious overacting, cringe-worthy script and fabulous fashion that make "Valley of The Dolls" such a delicious so-bad-it's-good treat. With documentaries, featurettes, trivia subtitles and even karaoke, this DVD is not just a movie, it's an experience!

The 1967 film stars Oscar winner Patty Duke, "Peyton Place" star Barbara Parkins, and the ill-fated Sharon Tate in a story about three young women who come to Hollywood to make it big but fall prey to addiction and tragedy.

Critics hated it, but audiences loved the film anyway.

"Valley of the Dolls" has developed a devoted following of fans who love Duke's scenery-chewing performance as rising star Neely O'Hara and the very quotable, yet horribly bad script.
