If you are a free spirit, go for it, if you are conservative, and uptight do not even think about it!!!
Look closely .... it IS actually an adaptation of the original Greek 'ORESTEIA' - with Clytemnestra [Charles Busch], Elektra, Orestes [the kids], Aegistheis [Jason Priestly] and the futile husband Agamemnon.
It also compares very favorably to the Jules Dassin "Phaedra" [Melina Mecouri/Anthony Perkins].
and is somewhat 'spot on' since the Ancient Greek theatre only featured male actors, and yep, there is a bow or two in the direction of Crawford and Davis [but weren't they vaguely asexual towards the end, as a matter of fact, with due respect, Crawford began to look more and more like her father, those eyebrows, the jawline, the 'specific' lighting].
Davis? Well, all went 'south' after the Merrill marriage - see for yourself!
THIS one is great fun though ... would like to see the future incarnations of the Busch character [even smatters of Julianne Moore in 'Far From Heaven' remember that delightful comment from, 'tortured' husband Dennis Quaid during the cocktail party].
Doug Sirk would applaud this one!
[Deserves a sequel featuring *Priestly, Busch and a Rock Hudson look-alike - just for fun!].
[PS HUGE nod to the costume designer - fabulous work!]
*Jason Priestly deserved great applause for this performance - now here IS an actor who is totally unafraid to explore and deliver!!
Miss Arden is, of course, continuously backlit.
There are some wonderful rear projection automobile scenes!
Natasha Lyonne is perfection in the type of role that Sandra Dee played so often modeling Hollywood-teen chic!
Frances Conroy superbly underplays Bootsie. The blowsey yet winning maid (In the Agnes Moorehead mold).
The musical number "Why Not Me" is so good that you will find yourself searching the song lists of old Ella albums to see if it is a "reclaimed classic".
As in all well done satire, the cast plays every sordid moment with supreme earnestness. They aren't in on the joke, nor should they be.....
Buy this movie, you will watch it over and over again! It is a delight-

It took a little while to understand that the 'Mommy' wasn't a drag act, but just a male actor playing the part. This is such a hilarious movie, with a few twists in the tale, and not for those who take life too seriously. The scene with the Mommy on the motorbike was an absolute hoot, but you'll be laughing all the way through.
A must see film.
