Joan Collins was at the height of her popularity when she made this
monument
to gaudy excess. Collins plays a young French woman who suffers at the
hands
of the Nazis in occupied France, sees her mother die, loses her brother and
sister, becomes a fashion designer, builds her own couture house, falls in
and out of love, and uses her fortune from peddling fashion to seek out her
lost siblings. All, of course, while looking fabulous in period and couture
costumes(can't disappoint all the DYNASTY fans, after all!)Melodramatic and
hammy, but engaging if you're in the mood for glitzy trash.
