Turner Classic Movies is screening the 1967 film Valley of the Dolls tonight as part of its Summer Under the Stars programming. The melodrama follows three ambitious young women who seek show-business success and the trials they face; the cast includes Sharon Tate, Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, and Susan Hayward. Several posts note Mario Cantone is providing an introduction and critics historically fault director Mark Robson for the film's execution. Patty Duke recalled expecting Oscar success until the premiere audience jeered, making the after-party uncomfortable. Valley of the Dolls received an Academy Award nomination for its score. TCM lists the film as available through August 28, 2026, as part of its scheduled offerings.
