Big brave Bette takes on Rosalind Russel! And what a performance. It's all out there, the push, the shove. the drive. the twarted ambition but unlike the original Ms Midler brings out the darker side of a 'stage mother'. You just know that under all the big noise and bluster is somebody hurt, damaged, beyond repair and doomed to get worse.
That said - what a romp through some well known numbers and the seedy back stage of burlesque theatre.
Probably not going to be on your wish list if you're not a musical fan - probably not going to be on it if you're not a Bette Midler fan either.
