Adaptation of Jacqueline Susann's titillating novel, one of the bestselling books of all time with about 30 million sold, about the rise and fall of three young, pill-popping women in show business.
The 'dolls' of the title refers to both the female characters and a slang term for barbiturates - in particular downers like methadone. Panned by critics but a box office success on release, the movie has gone on to be considered both a cult film and a "classic bad movie".

Variety"It's an unbelievably hackneyed and mawkish mish-mash of backstage plots and Peyton Place adumbrations."

The New York Times
The New York Times"It tries to raise itself to the level of sophisticated pornography, but fails. And it is dirty, not because it has lots of sex in it, but because it firmly believes that sex is dirty."
