Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
As special as the everlasting friendship it celebrates, this Special Edition DVD lets you relive BEACHES and all its touching and funny moments, and includes outstanding never-before-seen bonus materials. When the irrepressible C.C. Bloom (Bette Midler) and the shy and proper Hillary Whitney (Barbara Hershey) very first meet under the boardwalk at the beach, all the 11-year-olds have in common is the need for a best friend. Worlds apart in lifestyle and location, their friendship ebbs and flows through a lifetime of highs and lows, career changes, marriages, jealousy, and more. From the boardwalk in Atlantic City to the beach house on the Pacific, BEACHES will remind you of what being a true friend means.
Amazon.com essential video:
Garry Marshall's 1988 drama about a 30-year friendship between two women, one wealthy (Barbara Hershey) and the other (Bette Midler) seeking her fortune in show business, is well written (based on the novel by Iris Rainer Dart) and nicely textured in its contrast between the characters' separate destinies. When Hershey becomes ill with cancer, the film takes a predictably sentimental course, yet Marshall brings out the best in both actresses and catches some very fine drama. The film is a little too long, perhaps, but overall it is a fine experience. --Tom Keogh

The CD arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged to survive the trip through the US mail. Wonderful price; excellent audio; amazing movie!

I have always loved this movie! I bought it so I could now watch it with my own daughter. It made me cry at the end way back when it very first came out, and it still made me cry when I watched it again!!! (of course I am one of those sappy people who loves a good tear jerker so if you are too, this is a movie for you!!!!)

In Atlantic City two eleven-year-old girls meet on the beach. One is very loud and brassy, very show businessy, and the other more sedate and ladylike. The two become instant friends and mug for the camera as they have four pictures in a strip taken by one of those olden days coin-operated machines in an arcade. They tear the strip in two, and each girl keeps two pictures. The movie is bookended by two beaches, one in Atlantic City at the beginning and the other on the Pacific outside of San Francisco at the ending.
Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey play the parts of the two women. Bette becomes a big singing star, the other becomes a lawyer.
There are some good songs in the movie, but I wish Bette Midler had been given a few more really good numbers to sing to show off her talent. She and Hershey do good acting jobs in this movie. It's a real tear-jerker, heartwrenching, targeting the audience's tear ducts, but the film does have an aura of sincerity and authenticity.
It has an interesting and well-constructed plot. The friendship has its ups and downs. Bette is selfish, egotistical, and envious. Her friend is better looking, better behaved, but has marital problems. Bette has marital problems too but because she puts her career first.
A worthwhile movie, sentimental, touching, original and entertaining, but it's more than a chick flick.
