Product Description Six divas of the silver screen - Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, OlympiaDukakis and Julia Roberts - come together as bosom buddies in this hilarious and heartwarming storyof life, love and loss in a small Louisiana parish. At the center of the group is Shelby Eatenton (Julia Roberts), newly married and joyfully pregnant, despite the fact that her diabetes could make childbirth life-threatening. Terrified and angry at the possibility of losing her only daughter, M'Lynn Eatenton (Sally Field) looks to her four closest friends for strength and laughter as she battlesher deepest fear of death in order to join Shelby in celebrating the miracle of new life. desertcart.co.uk Review Based on Robert Harling's play and directed by Herbert Ross, Steel Magnolias is a comedy-drama that follows several years in the lives of women who regularly see one another at a beauty shop in their small Louisiana hometown. The story deepens as Julia Roberts, playing a serious diabetic and the daughter of Sally Field, goes downhill healthwise. But as an ensemble piece, this is one of those enjoyably lumpy tearjerkers with many years' worth of stored truths suddenly being shared between the characters, lots of grievances aired, that sort of thing. Daryl Hannah and Shirley MacLaine assume the most eccentric roles, Dolly Parton the most fun and Olympia Dukakis the most dignified, while Sally Field essentially provides the moral and emotional centre of the movie. --Tom Keogh, desertcart.com Review: Rom Com classic, fantastic film - This is such a classic film with an incredible cast. Romance and laughter and some tragedy too, it has it all Never tire of seeing this film Highly recommended Elizabeth Hair Review: Brilliant film 👍 - This is a brilliant film , had seen it years ago ., worth watching again .

Julia takes her first big chance.
This film has probably the finest female cast of any Hollywood film,with all six on top form. It's a comfortable weepy. In other words the characters have so much money they can suffer in comfort. It's notable for a young Julia Roberts giving an early award winning performance which made her a star for evermore, but it's especially enjoyable for the performance of Shirley MacLaine, as the cantankerous love-starved curmudgeon with a heart of marshmallow. Nothing really nasty happens.Enjoy it.

Steel Magnolias
Steel Magnolias [DVD] [1990 ] One of my top ten films - this is a true gem and what a cast - I have lost count of the number of times I have seen this on TV, but I never tire of it. There are amazing performances from everyone and I have cried one minute and laughed the next in some parts of this ( Shelbys Funeral) classic example - to break to tension and lighten the mood - when Saly Fields says "I just want to hit someone" Olympia Dukakis grabs Shirley Mclaine and says " hit her" classic! the story is all based around a beauty parlour in Lousianna and thats where it really all revolves- some of it is very sad and makes you cry, but as I say there some very very funny moments - one of my favourite bits is where Shelby Junior, gives Shirley Mclaine a good slap round the face, as he had just been told she was a mean nasty old witch!! hilarious - watch -cry laugh and enjoy!

Never tire of this film
I have seen this wonderful film so many times and love the way it portrays the child-mother bond and the complex relationships between women. I'm not a fan of Julia Roberts but in this film she really packs a punch as the young woman with diabetes trying to get as much out of her life as possible. Shirley Maclaine is a joy to watch as always - brilliantly acerbic with some great one-liners..."My he's such a gentleman, I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it!". Dolly Parton is stunning to look at and proves she can be a very sensitive actor. This film is to be explored and enjoyed so I wont describe any further so as not to spoil this journey....you'd have to be as hard as nails not to feel Sally Field's distress towards the end of the film, I have yet to see the end credits without tears streaming down my face. 'Life goes on'....

Obgleich es sich bei diesem Film um ein Drama handelt, ist er genauso komisch wie er traurig ist. Nicht zuletzt schöpft dieser großartige Film seinen Charme und seinen Witz aus der tollen Besetzung. Shirley McLain als verbitterte, cholerische und leicht zynische Rentnerin, die immer einen schwarzhumorigen Spruch auf Lager hat, trifft auf die fürsorgliche Mutter Sally Field, die stets bemüht ist Ruhe zu bewahren. Zusammen mit Dolly Parton und Olympia Dukakis, entsteht ein wundervoll zusammengewürfelter Freundeskreis von unterschiedlichsten Frauen, die Ihre Freuden und Probleme teilen. Julia Roberts und Tom Skerrit runden das Ganze noch ab und lassen eine Familiengeschichte entstehen, die einen gleichermaßen bewegt wie auch unterhält. Ein sehenswürdiger Film und eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung für Menschen, die auch das Drama Genre nicht ablehnen.

⭐︎5個じゃ足りないくらい。 サリーフィールドさんが好きで彼女の出演作はほぼ観ており、これは心の底からおススメです。 派手なアメリカ映画ではありませんが、友情、愛情、流れるように時が過ぎ、命を繋ぎ淡々と美しく生きること…それが人生というメッセージを受け取りました。数え切れないほど観てますが、毎回しゃくりあげるほど泣いてしまいます。 何故あまり話題にならなかったのか本当に不思議。
